Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Jane Magnolia Tree

Planting Instructions for Jane Magnolia

  1. Site Selection and Soil Preparation:
    Jane Magnolias thrive in full sun to partial shade, ideally receiving at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Choose a location sheltered from strong winds to protect the delicate spring flowers. They prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5) but can tolerate a range of soil types. If the soil is heavy clay, amend it with compost or sand to improve drainage and aeration.

  2. Planting:
    Dig a hole twice as wide and slightly shallower than the root ball to ensure proper root spread. Mound the soil at the bottom of the hole so the root ball sits slightly above the soil line to prevent waterlogging. Once placed, backfill the hole with soil, tamping it down gently to eliminate air pockets. Water deeply after planting to help settle the soil and establish the roots.

  3. Mulching:
    Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the tree, leaving a few inches between the mulch and the trunk. Mulching helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weeds, making it particularly beneficial for Jane Magnolias, which prefer consistently moist soil.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering:
    Jane Magnolias need consistent moisture, especially during their first year of establishment. Water deeply once a week, making sure the soil remains moist but not soggy. Once established, they are more drought-tolerant but still prefer regular watering during dry spells, particularly in the summer.

  2. Fertilization:
    Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) or one designed for acid-loving plants. Repeat fertilization in mid-summer if the plant shows signs of slow growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as too much nitrogen can result in fewer blooms and excessive foliage growth.

  3. Monitoring for Issues:
    Jane Magnolias are relatively pest- and disease-resistant. However, they can occasionally face issues with scale, aphids, or powdery mildew. Monitor regularly, and treat with horticultural oil or neem oil if needed. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to reduce the likelihood of fungal diseases.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning:
    Prune your Jane Magnolia immediately after flowering (late spring) to maintain its shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Jane Magnolias naturally grow in a vase shape, so light pruning is usually all that’s needed. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can remove flower buds for the next season.

  2. Pest and Disease Control:
    Jane Magnolias are generally pest-free, but you should still check for scale or aphids, which can sometimes appear. If found, treat with an insecticidal soap or horticultural oil. Root rot can occur if the soil remains too wet, so ensure that your Magnolia is planted in well-draining soil.

  3. Seasonal Tasks:
    Jane Magnolias bloom in early spring, so be sure to protect them from late frosts, which can damage the buds. In colder climates, you might want to apply an extra layer of mulch in late fall to insulate the roots during winter. If you live in USDA zones 4-8, this deciduous tree should thrive well in your area.

Additional Tips for Growing Jane Magnolia

  1. Frost Protection for Early Blooms:
    Jane Magnolias bloom in early spring, making their flowers susceptible to late frosts. To protect your tree, cover it with a light frost cloth or sheet when freezing temperatures are expected. This will help preserve the delicate flowers and buds.

  2. Ideal Planting Location:
    To enhance bloom performance, plant your Jane Magnolia in a spot that gets morning sun and some afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates. This helps protect the flowers and leaves from scorching in intense midday heat.

  3. Companion Planting:
    Jane Magnolias pair well with other spring-blooming shrubs and perennials, such as azaleas, rhododendrons, or hellebores, which enjoy similar soil conditions. These plants can create a stunning early spring display with the Magnolia’s large, tulip-like flowers as the focal point.

  4. Improving Soil:
    If your soil is alkaline, consider adding soil acidifiers like pine bark mulch, compost, or sulfur to make the conditions more favorable for Jane Magnolias. Regularly mulching with organic material will also help maintain an ideal soil pH and retain moisture.
  5. Longer Bloom Period:
    Jane Magnolias are known for their extended bloom period, sometimes flowering for weeks in spring and even sporadically during summer. To encourage a longer bloom time, ensure your Magnolia is well-watered during dry spells and fertilized appropriately to promote flower production.

  6. Mulching in Winter:
    Applying a thick layer of mulch in late fall will help protect the roots from freezing and thawing cycles during winter. Mulch helps insulate the root zone and maintain a consistent temperature, which is particularly important in colder climates.

Beware- not all Jane Magnolias are the same.

Be sure to get superior magnolias, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" magnolias to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Jane Magnolias in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall magnolias in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" tree, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy tree.

  • Pink-purple blooms with white interiors, lightly fragrant
  • Blooms later than many early magnolias, which helps flowers avoid late frosts
  • Compact tree: 10-15 ft. tall and 5-10 ft. wide
  • Cold hardy in zones 4-8 and blooms reliably in cooler climates

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure trees including the pot and roots, so their "3-4 ft." tree may only be about half that size when planted. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Jane Magnolias Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship thin, weak magnolias grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" trees struggle after planting and take longer to bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Jane Magnolias, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means your tree settles in quickly and starts giving you its big spring flowers sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Jane Magnolia Tree

How big does a Jane Magnolia tree get?

A Jane Magnolia grows about 10 to 15 feet tall and 5 to 10 feet wide, with a rounded, multi-stemmed, vase-like form. Its compact size makes it one of the best magnolias for small yards, foundation plantings, and garden beds. Plant it where you can enjoy the spring flowers up close, such as near a patio or entryway.

When does a Jane Magnolia bloom?

Jane Magnolia blooms in spring, typically later than many early magnolias, which helps its flowers avoid damage from late frosts. The large, tulip-shaped blooms are pink-purple outside with white interiors and are lightly fragrant. Flowers appear before and as the leaves emerge, covering the tree in color for several weeks.

What zones can Jane Magnolia grow in?

Jane Magnolia grows in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 8. It is more cold tolerant than many magnolias and blooms reliably in cooler climates. In the colder part of its range, add an extra layer of mulch in late fall to insulate the roots, and plant it where the flowers are sheltered from harsh spring winds.

How much sun does a Jane Magnolia need?

Jane Magnolia grows best in full to partial sun, ideally with at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. More sun generally means more flowers. Choose a spot sheltered from strong winds to protect the delicate blooms, and avoid deep shade, which reduces flowering.

When should I prune a Jane Magnolia?

Prune a Jane Magnolia immediately after it finishes flowering in late spring. That timing lets you shape the tree and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches without cutting off next year's flower buds. Because it naturally forms a pleasing vase shape, light pruning is usually all that is needed.

What soil does a Jane Magnolia like?

Jane Magnolia prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil with a pH of about 5.5 to 6.5, though it tolerates a range of soil types. Amend heavy clay with compost or sand to improve drainage, and plant the root ball slightly above grade. Soggy soil can cause root rot, so avoid low, wet spots.

How often should I water a Jane Magnolia?

Water a Jane Magnolia deeply once a week during its first year, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Magnolias like consistent moisture, so a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps a lot. Once established, it is more drought tolerant but still appreciates regular watering in dry summer weather.

How do I fertilize a Jane Magnolia?

Fertilize a Jane Magnolia in early spring with a slow-release balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, or one made for acid-loving plants. You can repeat in mid-summer if growth looks slow. Avoid overfeeding, since too much nitrogen produces lots of leaves and fewer blooms.

How do I protect Jane Magnolia blooms from frost?

Jane Magnolia flowers later than many magnolias, which already lowers the risk of frost damage. If a hard freeze is forecast once buds are swelling, cover small trees overnight with frost cloth or an old sheet, removing it the next morning. Planting away from low frost pockets also helps protect the blooms.

Does Jane Magnolia have pest problems?

Jane Magnolia is generally pest and disease resistant. Occasionally scale, aphids, or powdery mildew can appear. Treat insects with horticultural oil, neem oil, or insecticidal soap, and improve airflow around the tree to discourage mildew. Well-drained soil prevents root rot, the most serious potential problem.
