DESCRIPTION
Magnolia stellata produces fragrant white flowers in late winter to early spring, each bloom opening with many slender petals arranged in a star-like form around pale yellow stamens. The blossoms appear along bare branches before the foliage emerges, bringing delicate seasonal color at the close of winter. After flowering, narrow oval leaves unfold in fresh green tones and create a soft canopy through the growing season.

Native to Japan, Magnolia stellata grows naturally in woodland areas and forest margins. In gardens it brings early seasonal interest to borders and specimen plantings where the graceful flowers brighten the landscape before many other shrubs and trees begin blooming.
