National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! When you think of a Magnolia, the Stellar Ruby may not be what comes to mind, but it is exactly that! This unique cultivar is bursting with ruby-colored flowers against wavy, elongated foliage in a glossy green hue. They make an appearance in late spring and can last through early fall, releasing the scent of bananas into the air. Popular uses include coastal gardens, borders, hedges, mass plantings, privacy screens, or accents. Plant in full sun to part shade, watering moderately once established, and provide a well-draining soil. They are tolerant of heat, drought, deer, pests, and salt, and they also serve as an attractant for pollinators.
