Notes
'Jane Platt' star magnolia (Magnolia stellata 'Jane Platt') is a shrub for specimen planting, borders, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its multi-stemmed form grows slowly, and the fragrant blooms attract bees and butterflies. Birds also visit the plant.
Pairs well with Witch hazel, Switchgrass, and Great blue lobelia.
