Magnoliaceae

20-Magnolia x soulangeana

[FMP-field: image]

Since the saucer magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana) is not native to Illinois, it is not well adapted to the widely fluctuating temperature we have in Illinois. The flowers often open early in the spring, only to be covered with snow, and the flowers then turn brown.
