As its name implies, the stunningly beautiful March Till Frost Magnolia Tree flowers from March until the first frost of the fall. In early spring, this Magnolia develops purple flower buds that open to pinkish-purple, tulip-shaped blooms with white insides. March Till Frost Magnolia is a recent cultivar that has been specifically bred to repeat bloom after its main flush of flowers in spring. Growing to around 20 feet tall, this Magnolia is a wonderful specimen for any garden.
With its upright habit and relatively small form, the March Till Frost Magnolia is perfectly matched to growing in urban and rural gardens alike. Bred in the U.S., this Magnolia is suitable for growing in USDA zones 5 to 7. Often grown as a single specimen, this magnolia looks equally magnificent when grown on its own or at the back of a border. As with other Magnolias, March Till Frost is generally considered deer resistant.
March Till Frost Magnolia Care
The March Till Frost Magnolia thrives in either full sun or partial shade in a sheltered spot. This magnolia prefers fertile and well-drained but moist soil that is neutral to slightly acidic. Regular watering is required for the first few years and thereafter during dry or hot spells. A slow-release fertilizer for acid-loving shrubs and trees is advisable to help this tree become established. Even though slow-growing, this tree can reach a height and spread of 20 feet and should be planted away from overhangs and structures.
Pruning is not usually necessary. However, any broken or dead branches can be removed as required.
To help conserve moisture and suppress any weeds, a layer of organic mulch can be applied around the base of the trunk in early spring.
March Till Frost Magnolia Spacing
With a mature size of around 20 feet, the March Till Frost Magnolia should be planted with ample space so its blooms can be appreciated. As a deciduous tree, underplanting with spring flowering bulbs can produce a stunning display as winter comes to an end.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
