'''''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana''''' ('''saucer magnolia''') is a [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] [[plant]] in the genus ''[[Magnolia]]'' and family [[Magnoliaceae]]. It is a deciduous tree with large, early-blooming flowers in various shades of white, pink, and purple. It is one of the the most commonly used magnolias in horticulture, being widely planted in the [[British Isles]], especially in the south of [[England]]; and in the [[United States]], especially the east and west coasts. <ref name="Gardiner00">{{cite book|last=Gardiner|first=Jim|title=Magnolias: A Gardener's Guide|publisher=Timber Press|location=Portland, Oregon|date=2000|pages=265–80|isbn=0-88192-446-6}}</ref> Growing as a multistemmed large shrub or small tree, ''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana'' has alternate, simple, shiny, dark green oval-shaped [[leaf|leaves]] on stout stems. Its flowers emerge dramatically on a bare tree in early spring, with the deciduous leaves expanding shortly thereafter, lasting through summer until autumn.<ref name="Gardiner00"/> ''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana'' flowers are large, commonly 10-20 cm (4-8 in) across, and colored various shades of white, pink, and maroon. An American variety, 'Grace McDade' from [[Alabama]], is reported to bear the largest flowers, with a 35 cm (14 in) diameter, white tinged with pinkish-purple.<ref name="Gardiner00"/> The exact timing and length of flowering varies between named varieties, as does the shape of the flower. Some are globular, others a cup-and-saucer shape. ''Magnolia'' × ''soulangeana'' is notable for its ease of cultivation, and its relative tolerance to wind and alkaline soils (two vulnerabilities of many other magnolias). {{Inc| Magnolia soulangeana, Soul. (M. denudata x M. liliflora). Intermediate between the parents. Popular large- shrub or small tree: lvs. obovate to obovate-oblong: fls. large, campanulate, white, more or less purplish outside, often fragrant; sepals usually colored, sometimes almost as long, sometimes hardly half as long as petals, rarely small and greenish. May. Var. Lennei, Rehd. Nearer to M. liliflora. More shrubby: fls. large, deep crimson outside, late. Var. Niemetzii, Hort. A fastigiate form. There are many other named varieties, varying in color and flowering-time, as var. Alexandrina, Hort., fls. outside toward the base deep purple, white inside, one of the earliest; var. alba superba, Hort., white; var. Brozzonii, Hort., fls. white, shaded purple ; var. cyathiformis, Hort. Rinz., cup-shaped, light purple; var. grandis, Hort. Rinz., white, outer petals purple at base and in the middle; var. Norbertiana, Hort., white and light purple, one of the latest to bloom; var. rustica (M. rustica fl. rubro, Hort.), deep purple outside; var. speciosa, Hort., white, striped purple outside; var. triumphans, Hort., pink toward the base outside. These hybrids are among the most popular magnolias on account of their early, bright-colored fls.: they are showier and hardier than the preceding species. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery perrow=5> File:Magnolia × soulangeana April 2011.jpg| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
