{"product_id":"magnolia-liliiflora-nigra-black-lily-magnolia-plant-in-9cm-pot","title":"Magnolia liliiflora Nigra - Black Lily Magnolia, Plant in 9cm Pot","description":"Magnolia liliiflora Nigra was introduced from Japan as long ago as 1861 by J. P. Veitch and in 1907 was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit.  A lovely, compact form of deciduous Magnolia with large flowers of slender tulip shape and deep vinous purple outside with a creamy white stained purple inside, borne freely over a long period from late April to June and occasionally, sporadically to autumn.  Magnolia liliiflora Nigra generally produces flowers at a younger age than most other Magnolias. Easy to grow in most fertile soils, except chalky soils, in full sun or semi shade.  This plant can be used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can very successfully be grown in a pot or other container. Use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade, become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Hortus Planta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59213476331784,"sku":"GH0000382","price":12.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1073\/8434\/0744\/files\/61h25CzlI-L.jpg?v=1792854339","url":"https:\/\/plantdepot.co.uk\/products\/magnolia-liliiflora-nigra-black-lily-magnolia-plant-in-9cm-pot","provider":"Plant Depot Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
