In garden cultivation, it is a handsome, densely foliaged, fat oval evergreen. White blooms with deep plum-purple stamens occur in spring past any danger from late frosts. Seeds are viable but seedlings can take 8 to 14 years to reach blooming maturity. Cutting, graft, budding propagation is possible but not with high success rates. Some plants in zone 7 may have winter tip burn but recover quickly in spring. However there are reports of plants growing in zone 7A with no damage.
It has been hybridized with several other species in subgenus magnolia and with insignis.
In all, it is an excellent "new" oriental magnolia evergreen for warmer areas.
