Springtime fragrance is the hallmark of most magnolias, but Royal Star outdoes itself with large white double flowers that cover the branches in early spring and emit an extra sweet scent. Since it blooms a little later than some magnolia hybrids, it helps to resist frost damage in the colder zones of its range. Royal Star has an open-branched, multi-trunk habit creating an attractive shrub or small tree that adds beauty and fragrance to your spring landscape.
