Styling and inspiration with the Magnolia

The Magnolia is a versatile tree that can be placed in almost any garden. Its striking flowers make it a perfect choice as a solitary in a lawn or a focal point in a border. The Magnolia immediately attracts attention and adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor space.

Smaller varieties, such as Magnolia stellata (Star Magnolia) or Magnolia 'Susan', are ideal for smaller gardens or even large pots on a patio. These varieties flower profusely and have a more compact growth, so they take up less space but are just as impressive.

Combine a Magnolia with other spring bloomers, such as tulips, daffodils or grape hyacinths, for a spectacular spring garden. In the summer, the Magnolia can be surrounded by perennials such as hydrangeas, hostas or ferns, which enhance the graceful appearance of the tree.

For a romantic atmosphere, the Magnolia can be planted near a pergola or next to a garden bench, so that you can fully enjoy the fragrant flowers. In a formal garden, it can be used as the focal point of a symmetrical design, while in an informal, natural garden it provides an organic contrast.

The Magnolia is not only a visual addition, but also attracts bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable plant for the biodiversity in your garden.
