As soon as I got it back, I planted it right away. It's a young plant, very well-formed. It's a high-quality plant. With a bit of luck, I'll have one or two flowers in a few days since there are two buds. As usual, nothing to complain about. Thank you.

Description
Magnolia x loebneri 'Mag's Pirouette' is a variety of deciduous magnolia with abundant flowering in early spring. Its flowers are double, white, slightly fragrant. The petals are dense and arranged very regularly, with those on the outside being shorter than those in the centre, giving the flower a distinct personality. Like all loebneri hybrid magnolias, this accommodating and hardy variety flowers as soon as the plant reaches 1m (3ft) in height and is easier to grow in many regions.
Magnolia x loebneri, from the magnolia family, is a horticultural hybrid obtained by cross-breeding M. stellata, probably the most floriferous of the genus, and M. kobus, of good composition, both Japanese, slow-growing with moderate development. The 'Mag's Pirouette' cultivar has the more upright habit of its second parent and much denser and firmer flowers than those of M. stellata. It is a small tree with an upright habit during its youth, widening over time due to its flexible and slightly trailing branches, becoming as tall as it is wide. Its growth is quite slow, reaching a maturity of 2.5m (8ft) in all directions. Flowering occurs before the leaves appear, in March-April depending on the region. The 10cm (4in) diameter flowers are produced abundantly. They are slightly scented, white, composed of about fifteen spatulate petals, quite wide. The petals are pinkish at the base. The flowers and flower buds are less sensitive to late frosts than in other Magnolias. The slender branches bear deciduous foliage of a fairly dark green colour, turning golden in autumn before falling. The leaves measure 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) in length.
Originally from Japan, Magnolia x loebneri is very hardy. Plant it alone in your garden or in the company of evergreen shrubs such as Rhododendrons, Camellias, and Azaleas if your soil is acidic, or with viburnums, Forsythias, Japanese quinces, and lilacs in slightly neutral to slightly alkaline soil. In a Japanese-style garden, combine it with Ilex crenata trimmed into clouds. Owners of large gardens can plant a group of 3 specimens not far from a pathway, their mass of white flowers will create a striking tableau in spring! Loebneri magnolias are particularly highlighted against a dark background such as a hedge of yews or Thujas. The combination with a Garrya elliptica 'James Roof' should create a magical scene in March, if the beginning of spring is mild.

Planting and care
Magnolia x loebneri 'Mag's Pirouette' needs a few hours of direct sunlight, so grow it in full sun or partial shade, but not in complete shade. Keep it sheltered from cold winds. Plant it in a cool, rich, deep, well-drained and neutral soil, avoiding using only heather soil, which is low in nutrients. In limestone soil, dig a large planting hole and add heather soil mixed with your garden soil. This Magnolia x loebneri is less sensitive to limestone than many other magnolias. Mulch the bush to prevent it from freezing during heavy spring frosts, especially young plants. Water it in case of drought. When it grows, rainfall will be sufficient for watering. From February to June, before the vegetation starts, remove dead or diseased wood as well as crossing branches. Prune it gradually to give it its shape, with branches growing from the base of the plant.

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.
