Description

The Waterlily Magnolia is an ideal accent tree for smaller home landscapes and garden spaces that features loads of stunning, extremely fragrant, star-shaped, shell-pink flowers fading to white in early spring. Each flower produces up to 36 petals that are less floppy than M. stellata, resulting in a waterlily-like appearance, hence the name. Before the leaves emerge, the flowers open from rose color buds that are perched at almost ever stem tip on the tree. Waterlily Magnolia has dark green foliage throughout the season that turns from yellow to coppery-bronze in fall. A truly magnificent flowering tree in and out of bloom!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, the Waterlily Star Magnolia is ideal for use as a larger specimen shrub or small tree in landscape and sunny woodland borders or to frame corners or against a large open wall in home foundation plantings. Can also be grown in large pots, planters and containers of 18 inches or more in rim diameter. A fine addition to the cut flower, cottage garden, fragrance garden or pink or white theme gardens.

Growing Preferences

Waterlily Star Magnolia is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained acidic soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. She prefers full sun for best flowering, however will handle some partial shade. In the South, some shade during the hottest mid-afternoon hours of summer will be appreciated. Avoid constantly soggy or wet soils. In alkaline soils, apply soil sulfur and/or chelated iron to increase acidity. Pruning usually isn’t necessary, however stray or damaged branches can be pruned immediately after flowering in spring. Feed after flowering in spring with a mild organic plant food or a well-balanced shrub and tree food containing iron or sulfur.
