Magnolia stellataA first rate deciduous large shrub or small tree, commonly known as Star magnolia, offering real character in the landscape, prized for its sweetly scented white blooms. Expect it to reach around 1. 2m tall by 1. 2m wide at 10 years. Happy in full sun, though it tolerates some shade on most soils, and grows well in reasonably drained soil. Fully hardy throughout the UK.
