Magnolia
virginiana, commonly called sweet bay magnolia, is native to the southeastern
United States north along the Atlantic coast to New York. In the northern part
of its cultivated growing range, it typically grows as either a 15-20′ tall
tree with a spreading, rounded crown or as a shorter, suckering, open,
multi-stemmed shrub. In the far southern United States, it is apt to be more
tree-like, sometimes growing to 60′ tall. Features cup-shaped, sweetly fragrant
(lemony), 9-12 petaled, creamy white, waxy flowers (2-3″ diameter) which
appear in mid-spring and sometimes continue sporadically throughout the summer.
Oblong-lanceolate shiny green foliage is silvery beneath. Foliage is evergreen
to semi-evergreen in warmer climates and semi-evergreen to fully deciduous in
colder climates. Cone-like fruits with bright red seeds mature in fall and can
be showy.
Excellent specimen tree for lawns or tall multi-stemmed shrub for shrub
borders. Use in foundation plantings, near patios or on the periphery of
woodland areas. Often planted in parks. Will grow in wet soils such as those
found in low spots or near ponds/streams. Easily grown in acidic, medium to wet
soils in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, rich, organic soils, but,
unlike most other magnolias, tolerates wet, boggy soils. Hardy n zones 5-10.
