Family Magnoliaceae

Magnolia stellata 'Centennial Blush' is a small, exceptionally charming spring magnolia, prized for its very fragrant, semi-double, pale pink to rosy white flowers that completely cover its bare branches early in the season. This cultivar stands out for its remarkable floriferousness, creating a delicate floral cloud above tender green foliage that turns golden in autumn. Its rounded and compact habit, moderate growth, and good cold tolerance make it an ideal choice for small gardens, borders, entrances, or flower beds. Easy to grow in well-drained, rich, and slightly acidic soil, 'Centennial Blush' prefers a sheltered, sunny, or semi-shady exposure, where it can display its ornamental potential safely, even in the coldest areas of Quebec.
