Description
A dwarf version of our North American native Bigleaf Magnolia, Magnolia ashei shares the same massive leaves and flowers of the parent, but grows only half the size to around 15 feet tall and wide. At up to 2 feet long and a foot wide, the big and bold apple-green leaves with striking silver undersides bring a lush, tropical look to the landscape. Equally impressive, giant, sweetly fragrant creamy white flowers with purple centers measuring 12 inches or more in diameter appear from late spring to early summer. You’ll be happy to know that this one starts blooming at a much younger age than its parent, usually at 2 to 3 years old. Very rare in cultivation and the wild, Ashe’s Magnolia is destined to be a conversation piece that provides spectacular sensory appeal in your landscape.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
With an upright habit and rounded form to around 15 feet tall and equally as wide, Ashe’s Dwarf Bigleaf magnolia is ideal for use as a large specimen shrub or small tree in sunny to partially shaded landscape and woodland borders. Looks very nice near bodies of water. A fine addition to tropical look gardens, native plant gardens, fragrance gardens and white theme gardens.
Growing Preferences
Ashes Dwarf Bigleaf Magnolia is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. In drier areas of the deep South, some filtered sun or shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer will be appreciated. In alkaline soils, apply soil sulfur and/or chelated iron to increase acidity. Pruning usually isn’t necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.

I recently purchased a 7 gal. Ashei Dwarf Big Leaf Magnolia tree from Wilson Bros Gardens.. Large, well shaped and arrived in perfect condition. It was in the ground the next day and seems to be thriving. Wilson Bros Gardens is and will always be my number one go-to online source to purchase plants. They offer an infinite variety of nursery stock rarely found anywhere else and their customer service is top notch. I have placed many orders with Wilson Bros Gardens over the years and have never had any issues. They are hands down the best!————————————————–Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
