(Magnolia stellata 'Centennial Blush' PP22,248)
This newer First Editions® selection can conjure up a fantastic floral display of delicate pink covering the entire plant. It has the ability to brighten the early spring landscape yearly from a very young age. Rosy pink buds open to form incredibly full (50-60 tepals) and exquisitely fragrant pale pink flowers. These trees look good all summer, thanks to their compact, shrubby, oval form and smooth, deep green foliage that turns yellow-bronze in the fall. Star magnolias are very care free. Any pruning you might wish to do should be done immediately after flowering so you don't cut off next year's flower buds. Centennial Blush grows quite vigorously, maturing at 3.5-5.5m (12-18') in height and 3-4.5m (10-15') wide.
