Although the package arrived quite battered, the plants inside were very well protected, in excellent condition and larger than I thought they would be. You have a great selection, and I will definitely buy from you again. Have a nice day!

Description
Magnolia grandiflora 'Purpan', derived from a unique subject considered one of the most remarkable specimens in Europe, is a highly desirable selection of the summer magnolia with large flowers. With a narrow and conical habit, this vigorous magnolia flowers, unlike the species type, well before its tenth anniversary, and abundantly. Adorned throughout the year with large, dark green and slightly undulate leaves, it offers sublime flowers in summer for almost three months, resembling large cream-white tulips, extremely fragrant.
Native to the Southeastern United States, Magnolia grandiflora, also known as Southern Magnolia, thrives in light, heat, humidity, and rich, deep soils. Its range extends from Texas to Virginia, passing through the northern and central parts of Florida.
'Purpan' comes from a unique subject, planted many years ago at the Purpan Agricultural School in Toulouse. It is characterized by its vigour, narrow and dense pyramidal habit, rapid flowering, and floriferousness. This tree will ultimately reach a height of about 13.50 m (44 ft) with a spread of 5 to 6 m (16.5 - 19 ft). Its growth is quite slow. Flowering mainly occurs in summer, from June to August-September (in the southeastern United States, flowering begins in late April and ends in July). The large solitary flowers, resembling tulips 15 to 25 cm (5.9 - 9.8 in) in diameter, are composed of thick petals, creamy white, open around a pink cone covered with yellow stamens. Each flower only lasts one day on the tree, but they are continuously renewed. The flowers are particularly fragrant. They are followed by the formation of large reddish cones, quite decorative, revealing red seeds. The evergreen leaves, arranged alternately on the branches, are simple, entire, thick, and leathery, measuring 15-20 cm (5.9 - 7.9 in) in length. They are dark green and glossy on the upper surface, rusty on the underside. In 'Purpan', they are slightly undulate.
Magnolia grandiflora 'Purpan' is primarily used as a solitary tree in a medium-sized garden, but also as a street tree alongside a larger property. Choose a strategic location in the garden to be able to admire this tree, perhaps the most beautiful of all evergreens, and thus enjoy its magnificent lemon-scented blooms. It could be associated, for example, with another large deciduous and spring-flowering variety, such as Magnolia soulangeana.

Planting and care
Magnolia grandiflora 'Purpan' is planted in spring in deep, rich, moist or even humid forest (pH around 6) soil in summer. Ericaceous soil is not recommended, as it is too poor. This magnolia will also be happy with a deep and rich soil that is very slightly limestone. Once well established and sufficiently developed, this large-flowered magnolia resists dry summers fairly well if in deep soil. It appreciates a sunny and open site but sheltered from the prevailing winds. At planting be careful not to break the fleshy roots and not to bury the root ball too deeply. Mulch and water in summer during the first years. Beware of strong frost. Maintain good humidity by showering its foliage with a fine mist, only in the evening, if the day has been hot. Pruning is unnecessary.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
