Magnolia figo Stellar Ruby 3 Litre Potted Plant x 1

Magnolia ‘Stellar Ruby’ is a unique and hard-to-find evergreen magnolia, unlike the traditional spring-flowering varieties. This vigorous hybrid forms a tall, narrow, upright shrub or small tree, densely clothed in glossy, deep green leaves that provide structure and interest all year round. From late spring through to autumn, it produces flushes of small, ruby-pink blooms with prominent stamens, filling the air with a strong, fruity fragrance reminiscent of ripe bananas, pear drops, or even port wine.

Fast-growing and hardy, Magnolia ‘Stellar Ruby’ makes an outstanding specimen plant for borders, mixed shrub plantings, or as a screening hedge. It is highly versatile, thriving in large patio containers where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close. Resistant to pests, tolerant of salt spray, and even ignored by deer, this robust hybrid is an excellent choice for coastal gardens as well as sheltered urban plots. Its combination of evergreen foliage, extended blooming season, and exotic scent makes it one of the most unusual magnolias available.
