'Southern Charm' southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora 'Southern Charm') is a tree for specimen planting, cut flowers, and pollinator 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 grows in a conical shape at a moderate rate, and the fragrant flowers draw bees and birds. It sits low on the menu for deer. It also tolerates salt.

Pairs well with Japanese maple, Fountain grass, and Rose of sharon.
