Magnolia stellata 'Chrysanthemumiflora'

'Chrysanthemiflora' Star Magnolia was selected by K. Wada, a great Magnolia breeder in Japan.

The resemblance to the old fashioned "Football Mum" corsage justifies the name. The cold hardiness is excellent and we agree with Dr. Dirr's opinion that it is the best of the M. stellata "Rosea" selections.
