Magnolia 'Inspiration' is a captivating hybrid magnolia cultivar, known for its stunning and prolific floral display. This deciduous or semi-evergreen tree is a result of a hybridization program aimed at combining the best traits of its parent species, making it an exceptional choice for garden enthusiasts and landscapers seeking a magnolia with unique qualities.

Common Name: Magnolia 'Inspiration'
Mature Height (meters): Typically reaches around 4-6 meters
Mature Width (meters): 3-4 meters
Spacing: Plant at least 4 meters apart from other trees or structures to allow for proper growth and spread.
Foliage: 'Inspiration' boasts glossy, green leaves that provide a perfect backdrop for its flowers. Depending on the climate, it can be deciduous or semi-evergreen, shedding some or all of its leaves during the winter.
Flowering Period: This magnolia is renowned for its large, tulip-shaped flowers that bloom in early to mid-spring. The blossoms are a striking deep purple-pink color with a paler interior, and they emit a light, pleasant fragrance.
Form/Habit: Magnolia 'Inspiration' has an upright, pyramidal growth habit when young, which gradually becomes more rounded and spreading with age.
Uses: Ideal as a specimen tree in residential gardens, parks, and public spaces. It's also suitable for planting in mixed borders or as a focal point in a small yard.
Sun: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Maintenance: Requires minimal pruning, primarily to shape the tree or remove any dead or diseased wood.
Water Requirement: Moderate; regular watering is important, particularly during dry spells and in the tree's early years.
