Magnolia stellata 'Royal Star' | Royal Star Magnolia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Magnolia stellata 'Royal Star' produces large, star-shaped white flowers with numerous narrow petals in early spring, opening from silvery buds before the leaves emerge. Narrow, lance-shaped leaves unfold a soft green, creating a clean, refined backdrop as they expand through the season. The branching structure supports the abundant blooms, which appear along bare stems and bring a bright, layered effect to the plant.

Originating from a species native to Japan, this cultivar reflects garden selection for fuller flowers and dependable early bloom. It is well suited to borders, specimen plantings, and entry gardens, where its early flowering and graceful form provide seasonal focus and structure.
