DESCRIPTIONLIGHTWATERINGBLOOMSMATURE SIZE

Vivid, large, fragrant flowers reach up to 10 to 12 inches, composed of thick, heavy, brilliant magenta petals. Blooms emerge on bare stems in spring; a dense crown of green foliage that follows will add a nice touch to the summer landscape. When young, its form is erect and open branched; becomes more rounded with age. Useful as a large, multi-trunk shrub or trained as a medium-sized specimen tree. Deciduous.

Full sun

Once established, water deeply when dry.

Spring

Moderate growing; reaches 10 to 15 ft. tall and wide in natural form; 15 to 25 ft. tall, in trained tree form.

DESIGN IDEASFLOWER COLORFOLIAGE COLORCOMPANION PLANTS

Plant Vulcan in the front yard, where it will be the talk of the neighborhood. Its potent red flowers are unusual among Magnolia and are so vivid they can be seen at the far end of a deep city lot. Just as beautiful up close, around foundations, patios and porches. Narrow enough to dress up side-yards where it can be viewed from indoors. Super for marking gates and entries, or as a pair in formal shrub or perennial gardens.
