2 of the Most Cold Hardy Southern Magnolia Varieties

Southern Magnolia's can simply not grow farther north than USDA Zone 6. But there are 2 varieties that can grow successfully into USDA Zone 5. The "Edith Bogue" variety and the "Bracken's Brown Beauty" variety. The "Edith Bogue" variety holds the title for the most cold hardy Southern Magnolia hardy to a whopping -20°F. The "Bracken's Brown Beauty" variety is hardy to -15°F to -10°F slightly less cold tolerant but should take zone 5 fine like the "Edith Bogue".
