Quick Overview:

‘Betty’ is primarily noted for its rounded, shrubby habit, large reddish-purple flowers with white interiors and late bloom (mid-April to early May). It is a slow-growing, deciduous shrub or small tree that typically rises over time to 10-15′ tall with an equal spread. Large cup-shaped flowers (to 8″ diameter) are reddish-purple with white inside. Flowers bloom shortly before the foliage begins to appear. Plants may sporadically repeat bloom in mid-summer.  (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)

Description

Best grown in organically rich, neutral to slightly acidic, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Appreciates a root-zone mulch to help retain soil moisture. Also appreciates a location protected from strong winds, but avoid warm southern exposures which may promote premature bud opening in spring. Fleshy root system is easily damaged during transplanting, so it is best to select a landscape location carefully and leave this magnolia undisturbed once planted. Prune as needed immediately after flowering. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanic Garden Plant Finder)
