Features and Growth Habit

This magnolia grows to about 3 to 4 metres tall with a rounded, compact form. Its double white flowers emerge before the leaves, creating a spectacular floral display that signals the start of spring. The tree’s glossy green leaves provide lush coverage through the growing season. The compact size and tidy habit make it suitable for smaller gardens or urban spaces, while its striking flowers serve as a focal point.

Growing Conditions and Care

Magnolia stellata Waterlily thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. Regular watering during dry spells supports healthy growth. Light pruning after flowering maintains shape and encourages vigorous blooms. Protect young trees from strong winds and frost for optimal development. Adding mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, further enhancing plant health.
