Description

A new and exciting reblooming Banana Shrub hybrid of Magnolia and Michelia figo, the banana scented purplish red flowers and deep green lush, tropical looking foliage of the Stellar Ruby Magnolia are sure to please. The flowers rebloom throughout summer into early fall providing season long beauty and sensory appeal in the landscape. The dense glossy leaves cover the 10 to 15 feet tall large shrub, or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree. Ideal for use as a specimen in landscape borders and home foundation -plantings or in privacy screens and hedges.

Landscape & Garden Uses

The Stellar Ruby Magnolia can be grown as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a small tree that matures to about 15 feet tall and half as wide. It is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as an evergreen hedge in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders. It will grow in either sun or shade, assuming a looser more open form when grown in a mostly shade environment. It is also useful in home foundation plantings to frame the corners or against an large, open wall. A fine addition to the fragrance or cottage garden. Make sure to plant this visual and sensory beauty where you can enjoy the fragrance of the flowers from up close!

Suggested Spacing: 6 feet apart for a solid hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Stellar Ruby Magnolia prefers an acid, fertile, well drained soil with plenty of organic matter. It will grow well in either sun or shade, assuming a looser more open form when grown in a mostly shade environment. When growing in direct, full sun the leaves will be a lighter shade of green. Some filtered sun or dappled shade during the mid afternoon hours in summer produces deeper green leaves, which we think are more attractive.

PLANT ARRIVED IN GREAT CONDITION. I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER.———————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

After its long journey across the country and with FEDEX not sure what to do while crossing the state of Oregon I anticipated it coming in not in the best shape. I was surprised to see such a healthy gorgeous plant much fuller and larger than and I had hoped for. The nursery did a great job in packing since the box was crushed in shipping, and the arrows that said this side up meant nothing to the driver as he threw them on the porch. Anyway I’m very happy with the plant.—————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The plant was extremely well-packed with a large root system. It already has many flower buds. My only minor complaint is that it was not as lush as I’d hoped it would be— pretty bare of leaves at the bottom but appears healthy overall. I’m hoping new leaves sprout from the bare lower branches this spring. I’d order from them again.————————————————–Keep us posted, I’m pretty sure thy will fill out. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I ordered 3 of these plants and they arrived in great shape. I have had really bad experience with mail order plants but this company has quality plants and the packaging was quite impressive.
They were also quick to respond when I had questions.———————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The shrub came quickly, was well packed and healthy. I’ve had a barrier to getting it planted but it continues to look healthy with small flower buds and few leaves lost. I’m planning to get it planted this weekend. Looking forward to beautiful banana-scented flowers!————————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

I sent this to family in Louisiana as a memorial gift. They said it was healthy and packaged well. My only con is that I never got any notice of shipment or tracking info so I wasn’t able to tell when it arrived. Everything else about the purchase was fantastic. Not my first time using Wilson Brothers and not my last!——————————————So sorry that you didn’t get tracking info, check with Customer Service, usually our tracking info is spot on. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope the family that it was sent to enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
