Furry buds

In winter (2019/06), the Magnolia stellata flags its approaching spring glories with furry grey-white buds.

We planted this on the west side of the house both to please the street and to protect it from frosts, which can damage the grey furry buds and open flowers if they are exposed to morning sunshine.

Garden advisors say a position with early shade and sun later in the day is best for this species.
