Magnolia soulangeana (Magnolia denudata Magnolia liliiflora), the saucer magnolia, is a hybrid flowering plant in the genus Magnolia and family Magnoliaceae. It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple. It is one of the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the British Isles, especially in the south of England; and in the United States, especially the east and west coasts.

Noteworthy Characteristics

Growing as a multistemmed large shrub or small tree, Magnolia soulangeana has alternate, simple, shiny, dark green oval-shaped leaves on stout stems. Its flowers emerge dramatically on a bare tree in early spring, with the deciduous leaves expanding shortly thereafter, lasting through summer until autumn.

Magnolia soulangeana flowers are large, commonly 1020 cm (48 in) across, and colored various shades of white, pink, and maroon.
