1. Are they a plant

In fact, what we usually call "red Magnolia" and "Purple Magnolia" are plants. Look at their pictures and you will find that no matter what kind of plants, their colors are the same and there is no obvious difference. Indeed, there is no essential difference between them. If we have to say that they are different, it is just different names

2. Why are the appellations different

We mentioned above that they are essentially a kind of plant, but their names are different. Why? It turns out that people sometimes call it "red Magnolia" and sometimes call it "Purple Magnolia" because they compare different objects. Specifically, no matter what kind of plants, their color is purplish red. Then, when comparing "Magnolia", "Magnolia" and other varieties, we are generally used to call it "Magnolia". This is because in terms of color contrast, the contrast of red, white and yellow is obvious. However, considering that its color is purple red, we are used to calling it "Purple Magnolia" when we don't compare it with other varieties. It is precisely because of this that they are called differently

3. Their origins

There is no doubt that their origins are the same. Specifically, "Magnolia" is used as rootstock, the buds of "Purple / red Magnolia" are used as joints, and then grafted and cultivated. They are different from other varieties. They have purplish red flowers and bloom first and then grow leaves. In addition, they can bloom twice a year
