About This Plant
Magnolia grandiflora 'Kay Parris' (Southern Magnolia) is a Southern Magnolia, a Southeastern North America (NOT OR native) ornamental cultivar 'Kay Parris'.
Evergreen broadleaf tree with large, fragrant cream-white summer flowers and glossy leaves backed in copper. Long-lived (80+ yr). 'Little Gem' and 'D.D. Blanchard' are PNW-suited cultivars.
Plant in full sun to part shade, in moist, well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Hardy USDA Zone 6 to 10. Long-lived. Generally deer-resistant once established.
If you'd like a Pacific Northwest native tree with similar grace, consider Cornus nuttallii (Pacific Dogwood), Acer circinatum (Vine Maple), Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone), or Amelanchier alnifolia (Saskatoon). These provide bird food, pollinator support, and Indigenous food heritage in your landscape.
