Notes
'Exmouth' southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora 'Exmouth') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The evergreen tree has a conical shape and grows at a moderate pace. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its fragrant flowers draw bees and birds, and the tree tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Sasanqua camellia, Indian-hawthorn, and Deergrass.
