Description:
Bred by Dr. Augie kehr. a cross between M. 'Elizabeth' x 'Woodsman'. Golden yellow flowers with a rosy blush base adorn this magnolia. This narrow, pyramidal form is an excellent vertical accent for smaller landscapes. Sunsation rarely gets hit by late frosts as it blooms later than most.
Magnolias prefer an area in the garden that receives full sun to light shade. During a very hot summer, your magnolia might benefit from a location shaded by the hot afternoon sun. Avoid exposed, windy locations because strong winds can damage large flowers and typically brittle branches and will provide extra protection from hard spring frosts. Magnolias grow best in slightly acidic soil and is intolerant of drought, excessive moisture, and pollution. Any pruning should be done soon after flowering, to allow the plant enough time to reset buds for the following year. Magnolias have great winter interest in their shape and bud formations. Magnolias are not a favourite food of deer.
