Magnolia stellata 'Rosea'

Slow growing with a compact habit, the Star Magnolia is perfectly suited to smaller gardens. Magnolia stellata 'Rosea' is a particularly charming form with soft pink blooms that burst from furry buds to decorate the naked branches. As spring progresses, the blooms fade to white before a cloak of green foliage emerges to cover its stems. This elegant deciduous shrub makes a superb specimen shrub for a sheltered border or woodland garden. Height and spread: 3m (10?).
