Incredibly beautiful, award-winning Magnolia ‘Star Wars’ is a small deciduous tree or large shrub adorned with a profusion of huge, fragrant, rosy-pink flowers in mid to late spring. Each blossom, up to 11 in. across (28 cm), counts 12 tepals that splay out gracefully as the flower matures. Deeper pink flushed at their base, the tepals are lighter on the inside. Flowering begins just before the leaves emerge in mid-spring and continues for one to two months. The foliage of large, ovate, glossy green leaves with a tapering tip is attractive. This hybrid Magnolia is a cross between Magnolia campbellii (Campbell’s Magnolia) and Magnolia liliiflora (lily-flowered magnolia ) and may produce a second flush of flowers in fall.
