Great Landscape Uses for the Alexandrina Japanese Magnolia

The Alexandrina Magnolia is a versatile small flowering tree ideal for homeowners searching for landscape plants that provide early spring color, striking curb appeal, and year-round form. Its purple-pink, goblet-shaped blooms make it a standout focal point in both front-yard and backyard designs, while its compact, mounded shape allows it to fit beautifully into small gardens, foundation plantings, and mixed borders.

• Front-yard focal tree to enhance curb appeal with early spring blooms
• Accent tree along driveways or walkways for high-visibility color

• Foundation or border planting that adds year-round structure and seasonal interest.
• Specimen tree in cottage, traditional, or Asian-inspired landscapes for a refined, elegant look

Magnolia Alexandrina’s slightly fragrant purple-pink flowers with white interiors draw year-round interest. Pink with white goblet-shaped flowers are lightly fragrant and may periodically repeat bloom in midsummer. Flowers bloom in late winter to early spring and medium green leaves turn yellow in fall. The blooms can turn from pink to purple flowers as temperatures vary.

The fragrant flowers are best seen as a street tree or shrub or in a front yard for passerby's to enjoy. Young trees will still produce enough flowers to turn heads! This tree is a member of the star magnolia family. Don’t get it confused with southern magnolias or Magnolia grandiflora which are evergreen magnolias.

Alexandrina Magnolia Growth Rate

This Alexandrina saucer Japanese magnolia tree has a moderate to fast growth rate but stays short as a shrub or small tree. The Alexandrina magnolia can grow between 13 to 24 inches each year. With this growth rate in mind, cultivating a full grown alexandrina magnolia tree would take 3-8 years depending on the initial size you purchase. This is why we often recommend gardeners start with a 3 or 7 gallon Alexandrina Magnolia!
