It takes 2 to 3 years to flower, but is so worth the wait!When the blooms subside, the foliage will begin to emerge with a coppery hue and then transition to a deep forest green. ‘Betty’ Magnolia tolerates almost any soil, but is best grown in moist, organically rich, acidic, well-drained loam in full sun to part shade.
