I love Magnolias, have tried to grow them here but the frosts get the better of them. The flowers or the plants themselves? There are late spring or summer-flowering ones which could be OK for you, depending on where you are. Quite a few are hardy down to USA Zone 4 or 5. The problem here is our very maritime climate, with spring being a mixture of warm and cold spells. The usual problem with such flowers is that they come out of bud in a warm spell, only to be caught by a cold spell or sharp frost. That is much less of a problem in continental climates, like those in the USA. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
