Magnolia stellata
The star magnolia, this Japanese native deciduous shrub has very beautiful, star-like, white to delicate blush pink flowers in early spring before the leaves emerge. The effect is very pretty. The flower buds are also attractive. Add to this a fragrance and you have the ideal shrub for every garden. They slowly grow to around 3 x 3m and like a sunny to part shade with some shelter which help retain the beautiful flowers at their best. Happiest in well drained soil with good organic material and compost added. Deciduous
