Features

notes

An unusual magnolia hybrid, and quite different from the usual spring flowering deciduous magnolia varieties, Stellar Ruby is an evergreen shrub, bearing small scented ruby flowers intermittently from March through to September.  

Insights

Fast growing compared to other magnolias, it has an upright, narrow habit and glossy green leaves. Ideal as a screening plant or as a specimen in a container, it is pest and disease resistant and drought tolerant once established.
