Magnolia x soulangeana 'Satisfaction' is a Magnolia hybrid with a large growth, easy to cultivate and particularly ornamental in spring. It is then covered with beautiful flowers in the shape of large cups in two shades of pink. Purplish pink on the outside, they reveal a light pink interior and have a pleasant, rather light fragrance. Unforgettable, like all magnolias in bloom, this one is perhaps even more so, especially when grown as a small tree.
The Magnolia 'Satisfaction', from the magnolia family, is a recent horticultural creation. M. x soulangeana, originally the origin of a magnificent line of cultivars, is the result of cross-breeding between M. denudata and M. liliflora, two Asian species. 'Satisfaction' slowly forms a large bush with a rounded and spreading habit, taller than wide. It reaches an average height of 6 meters (19 feet 8 inches) at maturity, with a width of 5 meters (16 feet 5 inches). Often presenting a bushy vegetation carried by well-balanced branches, it can also grow on a single trunk. The leaves, 10 to 15 cm (3.9 to 5.9 in) long, have a rounded tip and are briefly acuminate. Deciduous, the dark green foliage, paler and finely villous on the underside, turns yellowish-brown in autumn. From March to May, depending on the region, numerous large, slightly fragrant solitary flowers appear before the leaves. They are in the shape of a light pink cup on the inside, darker and more intense pink on the outside. Upright, they open from buds protected by velvety bracts, and are formed by 9 waxen and thick tepals (indistinguishable sepals and petals), measuring up to 15 cm (5.9 in) long. Blooming widely, the flower reveals a center occupied by numerous reddish-brown stamens. It is followed by brown fruits, in the shape of cylindrical cones, containing red seeds. The longevity of the Magnolia 'Satisfaction' can exceed one hundred years.
This 'Satisfaction' Magnolia represents the quintessence of the magnolia with pink flowers that we have all admired at some point. Ornamental par excellence, naturally refined, it will work wonders in both a medium-sized garden and a large park. Among the most accommodating, it is generous in any good, deep garden soil that is not too chalky. It is most often used as a solitary subject in the middle of a short grass meadow, where it outshines all other plants in early spring. But once that is over, the small tree becomes discreet again. To take over, also consider other shrubs such as mock oranges, lilacs, beautybush, botanical roses, and many others. The 'Satisfaction' Magnolia can also be associated with a mass of acid-loving shrubs (Rhododendrons, Camellias, Hydrangeas, Pieris, Daphne...) for a Japanese-style garden. Note that the Magnolia 'Satisfaction' is one of the ornamental trees that best withstands atmospheric pollution.

Botanical data
The Magnolia x soulangeana 'Satisfaction' prefers sheltered locations, sunny to partially shaded exposures, a fresh to moist, well-drained, rich and humus-rich, deep, neutral to acidic soil. It tolerates clayey and slightly calcareous soils, as long as they are not waterlogged. However, it does not tolerate excessive lime, poor and dry soils, or windy locations. It has good hardiness, but it is essential to protect young plants from frost in the first years following planting. Note that late frosts and cold winds can damage flower buds and young leaves, thus affecting flowering. Magnolia can be planted in spring or autumn, outside the frost period, ensuring it is planted in a sheltered spot away from cold winds. Prepare a hole 80 cm (31.5 in) wide and equally deep, with a good supply of heath soil and compost. Be careful when planting it in the hole, so as not to break the fleshy but fragile roots. Immediate watering with non-lime water (rainwater) helps to compact the soil around the roots. During the first year after planting, Magnolia requires watering once a week. It will appreciate an amendment once a year in spring. For planting in calcareous soil, it is advisable to replace your soil with turf, pine bark, leaf compost, and heath soil. For better tree establishment, avoid choosing plants that are too large (1.50 m (4 ft 11 in) is a good size). Staking may be necessary if the tree is a large specimen. Water generously in the first years. Magnolia does not like prolonged drought, so the soil should remain slightly moist (but not waterlogged) throughout the summer. It is recommended to mulch around the base to retain moisture during the hot season, enrich the soil, and protect it from the cold in winter. During the first years, pruning after flowering can be done to shape its silhouette. The growth of this tree is slow in the first years following planting. It will be well-established after 4 to 5 years, and its growth will accelerate, making pruning unnecessary, except for removing dead wood and balancing its habit. Since its roots are fragile, it is best to avoid transplanting it. The only enemies of Magnolia are parasites such as scale insects, snails, and slugs that attack young plants, and cryptogamic diseases such as root rot (in excessively waterlogged soil), coral disease, and Pestalozzia.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
