I live in Frankfort, Kentucky and I have a Jane Magnolia and its beautiful in the spring. The best part is mine will rebloom some over the summer. Mine is about 13 feet high. The color of the bloom is a deep purple. I'm in zone 6B. Thanks Jim
I agree with carefully selecting deciduous magnolias. Following a suggestion from Bryce Lane, I bought a Magnolia 'Vulcan'. In 20 years I have seen only a few displays of truly magnificent bloom. The other years the tree is full of what looks like wet brown Kleenex. I'm in Raleigh, and this 15 foot disappointment is coming down this spring after I give it one last chance to show its true bloom.
My two Jane’s are my pride and joy!!! Although my gardenias are that also( never could have gardenias in a garden til I moved to Ok from New England and midlantic areas !!!❤
I planted a Jane Magnolia many years ago It is now about 15'. It always covered with Flowers around February -March I live in Zone 9B. Louisiana and I also have different varieties of Magnolias. They all flourish in my garden.
I have two Jane magnolias. The large one is planted in my woodland garden in the '90. It was my first plant i planted in that garden. It receives part sun. The other one.. I planted last year in a large pot. I will keep that one trim. It is doing well and it is planted in full. sun.
We have a Leonard Messel and we secretly envy people with Jane in the neighborhood because ours tend to get damaged by late frost while Jane never seems to have that issue in our Zone 5 area (Chicago suburb). We would have gone with Jane if we had known then what we know now. We’re hoping the warmer climate will mean fewer frostbite damage for him unless he wakes up extra earlier because of that and it turns into a never ending loop.
I have one of these. It’s robust. It does like mulch. What time of year do you fertilize yours? I see the buds for the spring flowers are generated in the fall, so I fertilize mine at the end of the summer.
Question..I have one planted in a spot where what you describe would be good for it. It’s been there for several years but only gets like one or two flowers on it and really doesn’t ever grow much. Very sparse and I have to cut back a lot of dead on it in the springs. I mulch and fertilize it every year. I’m in zone 6
Have meant to ask this: Would you consider putting the zone in the title so those of us who are colder than you are do not end of lusting for something we can't have? (Luckily, in this case, these work for more of us.)
The eight ladies of magnolia are all beautiful! Thank you for showing Jane 🎉❤
Beautiful tree that blooms when you need to see flowers.

I have a Jane!!! Love her! I bent a limb down into a pot and have another start of her! I was so happy to see you showcase a shrub I have!
In Illinois 5B/6A, they bloom in May. Sporadic blooming can occur in July and then again in September.

Got one 2 years ago & never fails to develop leaf mold. GA zone 8b

I think there’s a mature one in my neighborhood, on my walking route

I have plants like that and I move them eventually. But not one of these Jane’s.
I always like a plant with a people name. Then I have more excuses when I'm out there talking to the plants.

And propagation is possible from those pruned limbs.😃👍
