Commonly known as the Star Magnolia, this beautiful compact Magnolia produces masses of distinctive pure white, star-shaped flowers across its bare branches in early spring.

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.
