Magnolia stellata is rightly popular as classic specimen shrub for borders & woodland gardens. Its naked stems are swathed in clean white, star-shaped flowers for weeks before the foliage appears, & this display is preceded by silvery buds. With a slow growth habit compared to many other varieties, the Star Magnolia is particularly well-suited to smaller gardens & containers.
Height: 2.5m (8?). Spread: 4m (13?).
