The flowers are not the only striking feature of Pink Magnolia 'Star Wars', the glossy green foliage is also large and looks impressive throughout the year.

Growing to 4 x 3 metres in 20 years this pink Magnolia requires a moist but well-drained soil in part shade or full sun. This variety is a campbellii x liliiflora cross
