How it is grown
Magnolia liliifera is grown as an ornamental plant and is suited to culture in pots. Although tropical, the egg magnolia is reported to withstand sub-tropical climates at USDA zone 10 and higher. It has been grown in the West since the Victorian era with the first report of a flowering specimen at Kew Gardens in April, 1862. The egg magnolia is valued for its fragrant, egg-like flower which releases a wafting pineapple-like scent in the morning.
