'Alba Superba' saucer magnolia (Magnolia soulangeana 'Alba Superba') is a shrub for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It blooms in early to late spring, and the flowers are fragrant. Its wide spread needs plenty of room in the border.
Pairs well with Apollo common hyacinth, Dutch crocus, Coralbells, and Bigleaf hydrangea.
