One of the smallest and latest flowering magnolias, Magnolia Royal Star is a charming, slow-growing deciduous shrub with a naturally spreading, rounded habit. New foliage emerges with a soft bronze tint, maturing to a deep, glossy green before turning warm shades of yellow to copper in autumn. In early spring, masses of fragrant, star-shaped white flowers—around 10 cm across—burst from furry grey buds, creating a striking display on bare branches. Ideal for informal hedging, woodland-style plantings, courtyards, and patio gardens, Royal Star is perfectly suited to smaller spaces. Prune lightly at planting to encourage bushier, vigorous new growth.
Soil: Plant in a well drained and well worked soil.
Conditions: Prefers full sun but will tolerate a partially shady location. Shelter from wind to protect flowers.

The Zebra Plant, native to Brazil, dazzles with its striking foliage resembling the stripes of a zebra. Known for its glossy, dark green leaves adorned with white veining, it adds a tropical flair to indoor spaces. While it's primarily grown for its foliage, it infrequently produces tubular flowers with yellow bracts. In its natural habitat, it can grow up to 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide, but as a houseplant, it remains more compact. Regular pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and provides cuttings for propagation.
Soil: Well-drained acidic potting soil suits the Zebra Plant best.
Conditions: Thrives in warm, bright, indirect light and high humidity. Avoid extremes in moisture. It's typically grown as a houseplant in regions outside its native tropical habitat.
Size: In indoor settings, it remains compact - suitable for display in various spaces.
