The 'Genie' Magnolia Tree Gift
- Heralding the arrival of spring, magnolias like this one provide some of the most beautiful blooms you're ever likely to see. The chalice-shaped flowers elevate any garden and are guaranteed to put smiles on faces.
- Magnolias are known as a symbol of beauty, which is unsurprising given just how glorious they look, making them a great gift for life's most beautiful occasions, like weddings and anniversaries.
- The flowers don't just look good, they smell good, too! Plus, this variety has won multiple awards since its discovery, so you know you're getting a high-quality plant.
- Your magnolia will arrive in premium cardboard packaging, wrapped in a hessian sheet and tied with a stylish bow, complete with an accompanying care card
- Nice and easy to look after, just keep your magnolia well-watered, bearing in mind that container-grown plants need more watering than those grown in the open ground.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
