For small gardens, this magnolia variety is a gem. 'Genie' benefits from more than ten years of breeding. Its bloom season spans from early spring into summer, and it sometimes blooms anew in midsummer. Expect to be enchanted with this magnolia's magic, as it spreads color and fragrance across its garden.
As the blooms rise from their stems, they show buds that blend red with black. This lovely little tree sets its buds upright. When the time to bloom arrives, the flowers unleash a tulip-like quality and impress all who look upon them.
Expert greenthumb Vance Hooper bred 'Genie' from cultivars of M. soulangeana and M. lilliflora in New Zealand, and it is a plant that deserves to spread its petals worldwide.
