Three magnolia blossoms on a leafy branch

The branch stretches across the page with three large flowers in bloom. Their broad petals open outward, while several smaller leaves grow around them and fill the spaces between the blossoms.

How magnolias prepare for spring

Many magnolia species form fuzzy flower buds before winter and keep them protected until warmer weather arrives. Their flowers often open before the tree has grown all of its new leaves, making the blossoms especially noticeable. After pollination, some magnolias develop cone-shaped fruits containing seeds.

Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Do magnolia flowers have a scent?
Many magnolias have a sweet or citrus-like fragrance, although its strength varies among species and varieties.
Why do some magnolias bloom before their leaves appear?
The flower buds were formed earlier and are ready to open when temperatures rise. Blooming on mostly bare branches also makes the flowers easy for early pollinators to find.
Are magnolias trees or shrubs?
The magnolia family includes both trees and large shrubs. Some stay compact, while others develop broad crowns and sturdy trunks.
