Royal Star Magnolia is a deciduous magnolia with unique, double-petaled blooms that appear in the spring.  The large white blossoms are followed by dark green leaves.  It generally grows as an upright, multi-stemmed tree or large shrub.

This tree prefers moist, well-drained soil and can grow in full sun to part shade.  It also tolerates clay soil.  It performs better if protected from strong winds.  It works well as a small accent or understory tree.
