Magnolia stellata ‘Rosea’ is a compact, slow-growing variety belonging to the early-blooming deciduous magnolia group. It features pale pink star-shaped flowers that gradually fade to pinkish-white as they open, with numerous narrow, slightly scented tepals. Flowering occurs in early spring, before the leaves appear, and is abundant even on young specimens. The deciduous leaves are ovate and medium green, appearing immediately after flowering. The plant has a neat, well-branched habit, making it particularly suitable for small gardens or as a stand-alone ornamental plant, thanks to its delicate appearance and long-lasting blooms.
