Magnolia Jane (15 Gallon)

🌸 Magnolia 'Jane' (15 Gallon)
A burst of early spring hope—elegant, enduring, and rooted in the warmth of home.

There’s something about a magnolia that makes a yard feel like a story waiting to be told. And Magnolia 'Jane'? Well, she’s the graceful kind that shows up just before everything else begins—with deep rose-purple buds that open into tulip-shaped blooms, blushed with white inside. She's the first whisper of spring, the soft reminder that beauty always comes back around.

‘Jane’ doesn’t ask for the spotlight, but she earns it—year after year—standing strong in every season and blooming when hearts need it most.

🌿 A Southern Sweetheart with Northern Grit
Part of the beloved “Little Girl” series of hybrid magnolias, Jane is a cross between star magnolia and lily magnolia—meaning she’s more compact, cold-hardy, and blooms a bit later in spring, dodging late frosts. Her flowers are large, fragrant, and full of charm, and her rich green leaves carry her beauty long after the blooms fade.

It’s the kind of plant you pass down stories about, the kind you plant near the porch so everyone can admire her when she’s in bloom.

💌 What She Represents
Magnolia 'Jane' is a symbol of grace through change, resilience in beauty, and the strength of quiet elegance. She reminds us that the most meaningful things in life bloom in their own time, and when they do—it’s unforgettable.
