Magnolia liliiflora
Purple magnolia seeds

Magnolia liliiflora, called purple magnolia, grows to a height of 3 to 4 m and grows slowly and densely bushy. The elegant flowers are narrow and lily-shaped, colored outside dark purple. The flowering period is in May, so there is no great danger for the flowers from frost. Another advantage is the longer flowering time, because the flowers do not bloom all at the same time, but gradually. Due to its relatively slow growth and small, compact shape, the purple magnolia is particularly suitable for smaller gardens. 

Use Jiffy peat swell pots for sowing, let them swell in water and put them in a plastic pot. Alternatively, a commercially available sowing substrate can also be used.

Spread a few seeds on the peat well and cover thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm).

Then place the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - for a 6 cm pot size, a 120 x 170 mm zip-lock bag is recommended. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few mm of water remain after the substrate has been vacuumed up. 

Location: on the window sill or in a mini greenhouse in partial shade, during the day the temperatures should be around 24 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 24 C.
