Magnolia bears large, waxy blooms in soft white, pink or cream tones with a gentle fragrance. Florists use its branches and flowers to add a striking, sculptural focal point to bouquets and arrangements.
Strip any leaves that will sit below the waterline and recut stems before placing in water. Woody stems benefit from a sharper, longer cut or light crushing to aid water uptake. Keep away from direct heat and draughts; the foliage is long-lasting and not very sensitive to ethylene. Mist leaves occasionally to keep the glossy finish and prevent browning edges.
