Yes, you can grow magnolias from seed, but it is a slow process and the resulting plant may not be true to the parent variety. Seeds require stratification (a period of cold, moist conditions to break dormancy) before germination. After germination, seedlings grow slowly and can take many years (often 10-20 years) to reach flowering size. For quicker and more reliable results, purchasing a grafted plant is usually preferred.
