Magnolia Burgundy Star™

Common Name:
Burgundy Star™ Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia ‘Burgundy Star™’ is a striking deciduous magnolia, prized for its deep burgundy-red, star-shaped flowers that bloom in early to mid-spring. The rich, velvety petals open to reveal a stunning floral display, making this magnolia a standout feature in any garden. Unlike many magnolia varieties, Burgundy Star™ has a slightly upright, pyramidal growth habit, making it well-suited to smaller gardens and urban landscapes. Its lush green foliage emerges after flowering, turning golden in autumn before shedding for winter. This hardy tree thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils and enjoys full sun to part shade. Frost-tolerant and relatively low-maintenance, Burgundy Star™ is an excellent choice for those seeking a bold seasonal display.
