Magnolia

This tree is another low-maintenance landscaping idea that will definitely brighten up your garden with stunning pink leaves. Its flowering period is between May and September. So April would be the best period for planting.

This beautiful tree can grow up to 16 feet in height, and it often has a bushy formation. The best conditions for its growth and cultivation are relatively moist soil in which there aren’t any traces of lime buildup.

And the great news is that they’re also pretty resistant to low temperatures. But unlike the tree we previously mentioned, it’s definitely a huge fan of direct sun exposure. Just make sure you offer it protection from any strong winds.

The maintenance process is effortless because it doesn’t require all that much pruning. Be sure to remove dry and intertwined branches, though, and we recommend you find someone to do the job for you to ensure you don’t hurt yourself.
