Magnolia Waterlily

Magnolia stellata Waterlily, a variety of Star Magnolia, is a delightful deciduous shrub known for its stunning floral display. Large, white, star-shaped flowers resembling the shape of a waterlily bloom profusely in early spring. The petals are thick and textured, adding a captivating effect as they open fully before the foliage emerges, blanketing the branches in pure white. This variety is perfect for creating a dramatic early spring display.

In the garden, Waterlily excels in small spaces and is ideal for mixed borders or as a standalone specimen. Its compact size and spectacular flowering make it a fantastic choice for urban gardens or as a central feature in residential landscapes. This magnolia prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. For optimal flowering, it should be protected from strong winds and planted in a location that avoids late frosts. Typically, Waterlily grows to a height of about 1.5-2.5 metres with a similar spread, making it a versatile addition to both small and large garden designs.
