Magnolia stellata is a fantastic shrub. Its pure white, star-shaped blooms appear very early in spring, before the leaves. These open from silky buds and are gently fragrant. Occasionally they're flushed with pink. Its compact habit makes it ideal for a small garden.
Grow Magnolia stellata in a sheltered spot, away from strong winds. There's usually little need to prune, but in summer remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches. Mulch in spring with manure and leaf mould.
