Magnolia 'Gold Star' bears a profusion of fragrant, large, star-shaped flowers in a soft cream-yellow color with up to 14 tepals. Magnolia 'Gold Star' flowers in mid-spring and has bronze-red spring leaves that turn green through the summer. It has an upright growth habit with spreading branches. It is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia acuminata var. subcordata 'Miss Honeybee' and Magnolia stellata 'Rubra'. 'Gold Star' was developed before 2000 by Phil Savage in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, United States.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
