Star Magnolia 'Gold Star', Magnolia stellata 'Gold Star'
Hardy, award-winning Magnolia ‘Gold Star’ is a small to medium, upright, deciduous tree with star-shaped, scented, creamy-yellow flowers in early to mid-spring. Each luminous flower, 4 in. across (10 cm), counts up to 14 long and narrow tepals. The overall effect of these many tepals is that of a starburst. The blooms are borne on leafless branches since they emerge before the new leaves unfurl. The foliage of elliptic, ovate leaves emerges with attractive bronze-reddish tones in spring before maturing to medium green.
Magnolia belongs to the Magnoliaceae family, which includes several popular species such as the Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata), Saucer Magnolia (Magnolia × soulangeana), and Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana).
