Starry

On dull days in Spring the Magnolia stellata lights up any area it is growing in

Slow growing and suitable for small areas, it will thrive in sun or semi shade on well drained lightly acidic soil, although it has some tolerance to lime. But position it where it does not get the early morning sun as like Camellias frosted buds will be damaged by fast warming first thing in the morning.
