Magnolia plant in shady area

16 years ago

Hi, I want to plant some bushes which blooms in spring and summer in my front yard and the yard faces North-east so minimal sun light in the winter time. Please advice whatÂs the best/hardy variety of Magnolia plant which is worth investing? And also am very much interested in vine which is easy to grow in my front yard which blooms in spring. Please advice. Thanks for all you feedback.

You might want to look at the various forms of Magnolia stellata to see if any of them would be suitable.

So long as your yard gets light a little later in the morning so the buds have reduced risk of frost damage, M stellata may be hardy enough and of a suitable size to fit with your shrub plans.
