Description

Magnolia stellata – Star Magnolia is a compact, deciduous shrub or small tree with a multi-branched form. In summer, lime-green leaves provide fresh colour, before turning yellow, bronze, or tan in autumn.

Soft, fluffy buds open into star-shaped flowers, each with at least 12 delicate white petals. Blooming from late July, these long-lasting flowers add elegance and charm to the garden.

Star Magnolia thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade in a sheltered position. It is ideal for smaller gardens, courtyards, or large pots, where it can be pruned to maintain shape and height.

Typically, it grows to around 3.0 x 2.5 metres, making it a versatile choice for compact spaces.
