Magnolia stellata, also known as Stermagnolia, is a beautiful ornamental shrub that will beautify your garden with its striking star-shaped flowers. This plant usually grows as a large shrub, but can also be grafted as a small tree on a stem. However, due to its slow growth, it will take many years before a true tree form emerges.

- Bloom: Blooms profusely in March and April with star-shaped, pure white flowers reaching a diameter of up to 10 cm. The flowers are lightly scented and appear before the leaves emerge.
Pitch and Care:
- Location: Prefers a sunny spot in a humus-rich, well-drained soil. Dry soil is poorly tolerated.
- Hardiness: Very hardy, but the flowers can be damaged by late night frosts.
- Pruning: This ornamental shrub does not need pruning.
- Planting: Use universal potting soil when planting.
Particulars:
