Magnolia 'Star Wars' produces rich purple-pink flowers with pale-pink interiors that appear before or with the new spring leaves. The flowers are typically 15cm wide, but can occasionally reach up to 28cm wide. It begins to flower in the spring from an early age and continues to bloom for six to eight weeks. Sometimes, it will also have another period of flowering in the summer. An excellent choice for a street tree, and it grows upright, bushy, and compact. Magnolia 'Star Wars' is deciduous, not native to New Zealand, and a hybrid between Magnolia campbellii and Magnolia liliiflora. 'Star Wars' was raised in the 1970s by Oswald Blumhardt in Whangārei, New Zealand.

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.
