Star Magnolia 5 Seeds Magnolia stellata

Magnolia stellata, commonly known as the star magnolia, is a deciduous flowering shrub or small tree native to Japan. It belongs to the Magnoliaceae family and is renowned for its beautiful, star-shaped flowers.

The star magnolia typically grows to a height of around 2 to 4 meters (6 to 12 feet) tall and has a rounded or spreading habit. It has smooth, gray bark and oval-shaped, mid-green leaves that turn yellow in autumn before falling.

One of the most striking features of the star magnolia is its flowers, which appear in early spring before the leaves emerge. The fragrant flowers have slender, strap-like petals that radiate outward, giving them a star-like appearance. They are typically white or pale pink in color and can cover the branches, creating a stunning display.

Star magnolias are popular ornamental plants in gardens and landscapes due to their early bloom, attractive flowers, and compact size. They prefer moist, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Hardy in zones 5 to 9.
