What's a good combo planting for an 8' and growing Magnolia?
Under plantings/Combo Ideas for Magnolia
What kind?
Magnolia x soulangeana
Whatever you can plant by seed - Magnolias resent root disturbance, and digging holes for planting larger items may well cause damage to the Magnolia.
Resin
Something spring blooming and blue -- think Muscari, Scilla, Hyacinthus or other bulb plants that would have an overlapping/coincidental bloom time.
My father did that when I was a child ViburnumValley. He had Mxsoulangeana and Mxstellata underplanted with blue scillas and it was absolutely stunning. So I agree with VV that really works well Wawknboots
Great! Thanks everyone!!!

Rosa primula or hugonis.
