Stellar Ruby Magnolia Care
Plant Stellar Ruby in an area that receives at full to part sun, a minimum 4-6 hours a day. Water well after planting and until established, and then as needed. Fertilize once a year in the spring. Use a slow release tree and shrub fertilizer in early spring. It has good salt tolerance, and is great for coastal areas.
After blooming is the best time to prune Magnolia. Remove old wood or diseased stems at this time. After the bloom period is also a good time to do any shape pruning or hedge trimming.
Stellar Ruby Magnolia Spacing
Stellar Ruby Magnolia reaches 10-15 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide, be sure to allow it the proper space it needs to stand out in your garden. If you are using this Magnolia as a hedge, plant at 5-6 feet apart for a full hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
