Do Magnolia Flowers Bloom in Spring? An Introduction to Magnolia Blooming Times

I. They Can Bloom

Yulan magnolia (Magnolia denudata) blooms every year in February to March. So in spring, it is possible for it to bloom. Purple magnolia (Magnolia liliiflora) and Zhusha magnolia (Magnolia soulangeana) can also bloom around April in spring. In addition, with good care, their blooming period can be extended somewhat. However, there are other varieties, such as the round-leaved magnolia (Magnolia rostrata), whose blooming period is in summer and which cannot bloom in spring.

II. Ways to Extend the Blooming Period

1. Weed promptly: In spring, some weeds may grow around it. To prevent these weeds from stealing the nutrients the plant uses for blooming, they should be pulled out promptly.

2. Sufficient light: It is a plant that relatively likes light. If you want its flowers to stay open longer, be sure to place it in a spot with good light for growing.

3. Keep it warm: It likes warmth. In a place around 20°C, its flowers' blooming time can be extended somewhat.

4. Apply light fertilizer frequently: Its blooming consumes nutrients. So if you can appropriately apply some light fertilizer to it at this time, its blooming period can also be extended.
