The flowers rebloom throughout summer into early fall providing season long beauty and sensory appeal in the landscape. The dense glossy blue-green leaves cover the 10 to 15 feet tall tree. Ideal for use as a specimen in landscape borders and home foundation plantings.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to about 15 feet tall and half as wide, the Stellar Ruby Magnolia is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or in a row in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders. It will grow in either sun or shade, assuming a looser more open form when grown in a mostly shade environment. It is also useful in home foundation plantings as an accent tree or to frame the corners or against an large, open wall. A fine addition to the fragrance or cottage garden. Make sure to plant this visual and sensory beauty where you can enjoy the fragrance of the flowers from up close!

Suggested Spacing: 12 feet or more apart for space between trees

Growing Preferences

The Stellar Ruby Magnolia prefers an acid, fertile, well drained soil with plenty of organic matter. It will grow well in either sun or shade, assuming a looser more open form when grown in a mostly shade environment. When growing in direct, full sun the leaves will be a lighter shade of green. Some filtered sun or dappled shade during the mid afternoon hours in summer produces deeper green leaves, which we think are more attractive.

Plant Long & Prosper!
