Magnolia Stellata

Graceful, architectural & beautifully early-flowering—Magnolia trees bring sculptural shape and luminous spring colour to gardens of every style.

You can choose from three ornamental magnolias: Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata) with its cloud of silky, star-shaped white blooms, Saucer/Tulip Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana) with large goblet flowers in ivory, rose-pink & purple-rose, or Magnolia ‘Susan’ with rich purple-red tulip-shaped blooms perfect for compact spaces.

Each variety blooms on bare branches in early spring, creating a striking silhouette before new foliage emerges. Their elegant forms range from upright multi-stemmed shrubs to broad-canopied ornamental trees, offering strong seasonal presence, textured branching & eye-catching movement. Whether planted near pathways, used as a lawn focal point or placed in a feature bed, these magnolias bring refined spring drama and lasting beauty year after year.

Supplied as healthy, fresh & fully established 3L potted trees, each magnolia arrives with a strong, fibrous root system and well-formed branching structure. Naturally arriving leafless in winter, they are primed to burst into flower as the season turns. Once planted in moist, well-drained soil, magnolias establish steadily with minimal care, needing only consistent watering during their first season and light shaping after flowering. Hardy, dependable & long-lived, they provide a timeless ornamental display with very little maintenance required.
