The 'Royal Star' Magnolia is a deciduous shrub or small tree that features large, double, fragrant white star-shaped flowers in early spring before the dark green leaves emerge, which turn a coppery-bronze in fall. It grows to a height of 10-20 feet, has a rounded form, and is excellent for smaller gardens as a specimen plant or focal point. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained, acidic soil.
