Care Notes

For the first 2-3 years after planting, water Magnolia 'Heaven Scent' regularly, especially during dry spells. Established plants generally require less watering, except during prolonged droughts. Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring, particularly for younger plants, to support vigorous growth and flowering. Minimal pruning is typically needed; only remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches immediately after flowering to avoid disturbing next season's buds. Avoid heavy pruning as magnolias can be sensitive to it. Ensure a sheltered planting position to protect its early blooms from late spring frosts and strong winds. Apply a thick layer of organic mulch, such as composted bark or leaf mould, around the base in spring. This helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, but keep it clear of the main stem.

Important Note

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all of its leaves in the autumn and get fresh new foliage each spring.
