Naturally since Mississippi is the Magnolia state, you will find beautiful Magnolia trees in a vast number of landscapes both commercial and residential. The Magnolia tree can come in the standard size which grow to heights of 80 feet and widths of 40 feet. They are amazingly large trees that produce large spectacular flowers that come on the colors of pink, purple, white and some yellow. They are also very heavily scented and attract pollinators.
The smaller version or Dwarf Magnolias grow to less heights and widths. Typically they get to be 25 feet tall and 15 feet across. There are numerous varieties of the Dwarf Magnolia and each displays sweet smelling and differently colored blooms. These smaller trees are often used in gardens and as a border plant.
Of course there are other native plants used for south Mississippi landscapes:
- Pringles Japanese Yew – This is a spreading plant that grows low to the ground. It is good for filler or as border. It is sun tolerant and has thin finely textured leaves.
- Canna – The Canna thrives in wet humid Mississippi climate. They are extremely durable and produce large leaves and vividly colored blooms.
- Carex Everillo – These are great border plants. They display bright yellow leaves year round and work great as ground cover in a landscaped garden or in containers.
- Mondo Grass – Sometimes called “monkey grass”, this plant will eventually take over any landscape. It even thrives in the shade which makes it popular for ground cover in spots that get very little sunlight.
- Wintergreen Boxwood – Great to line a garden or walk way, the Korean boxwood is hardy and full. Some think they add a calmness to the scenery.
- Cherry Laurel – A native tree to MS the Cherry Laurel has fragrant white flowers in the spring and is an evergreen. It is a very versatile tree that grows in both full sun and shade. They are also easy on a tight budget.
- Nandina – A favorite in south MS the Nandina is durable never needing water or tending to.
- Palmetto – These are basically small palm trees. They are native to the deep south. Never requiring watering and grow in both the sun and the shade.
- Iris – The Iris plants have lovely flowers but are used by many landscapers as an accent at the foot of larger shrubs.
- Crape myrtle – In the deep south you will be hard pressed to not find a Crape Myrtle in most landscapes. It is a beautiful flowering tree that comes in a variety of brilliant colors.
