Magnolia
Depending on the variety, magnolias can bloom from late winter to mid-spring. So, if you want a head start to the season, look to these trees for their big and beautiful blossoms. You'll find a variety of types, including both evergreen and deciduous, so be sure to choose one that will thrive in your hardiness zone. Because they're wide-spreading, you'll also want to choose a spot in your yard that has plenty of space for their branches and flowers to take shape.
