Magnolia soulangeana

hello
im know plantsmen but id personaly keep that as the focal point and maybe put low anuals around it so you can change the look every year .

Thanks Noseypotter,

I've read elsewhere about Magnolia having roots close to the surface that don't like to be disturbed, so I'm trying plan a planting scheme that takes account of this.

Under my magnolia I have some snowdrops and primroses, hardy geranium for the summer and colchicum (autumn crocus) for later in the year

your welcome andip . snow drops sound nice .

Pamg - also good suggestions, thanks.

I have some snowdrops in the green just delivered from Thompson and Morgan so now I know where they can go.

Now just need to decide what to have there for summer/autumn.

I have some Japanese anemones under mine.
