Fill your garden with a spectacular display of pure white star-shaped flowers with Magnolia stellata, supplied as a large, established 3–4ft plant in a 3 litre pot.
Commonly known as the Star Magnolia, this beautiful compact Magnolia produces masses of distinctive white, multi-petalled flowers across its bare branches in early spring. The elegant blooms create a striking display just as the garden begins to awaken, followed by fresh green foliage for attractive seasonal structure.
Naturally compact and relatively slow growing, Magnolia stellata is particularly well suited to smaller gardens, front gardens and feature borders, providing all the beauty of a Magnolia without developing into an excessively large tree.

Choose a sunny or partially shaded, sheltered position with fertile, moist but well-drained soil. A sheltered location can help protect the beautiful early flowers from strong winds and severe late frosts.
Prepare a generous planting hole and position the root ball at approximately the same depth as it has been growing in the pot. Firm gently and water thoroughly after planting.
Water regularly throughout the first growing season while the root system establishes. Applying an organic mulch around the base will help retain moisture and improve the surrounding soil.
Magnolia stellata requires very little routine pruning. If necessary, remove damaged or unwanted growth after flowering.
