Description
Magnolia stellata ‘Jane Platt’ is a highly desirable deciduous cultivar that forms a compact, densely-branched, spreading tree. It produces deep-pink buds that open to frilly white flowers with pink undersides. The blooms typically feature between 20 and 30 tepals and exhibit a darker pink shade compared to those of Magnolia stellata ‘Dawn’. This very pretty cultivar begins to flower in early spring, even at a young age. Magnolia stellata ‘Jane Platt’ originated in the garden of Jane and John Platt in Portland, Oregon, and was first distributed in the mid-1980s by Gossler Farms Nursery in Springfield, Oregon.
