'Royal Star' is a popular magnolia cultivar producing scads of large mildly fragrant snowy-white double-flowers from mid-March through April before its leaves emerge. It prefers full sun but will tolerate a partially shady location.
Ours was for a couple of years growing in the shade of two large evergreens. I had underlimbed a big holly tree so that the magnolia got a bit of morning sun, but the predominance of shade did mean it was growing even more slowly than its typically slow rate.
At first, an overdose of shade did not put the kabosh on it producing extravagant numbers of ribbony flowers. For two years running, it was thick with blossoms. But it must have used up some stored energy for bud-manufacture, as in the third year the blooms were only half so many, & mostly on only one side of the shrub, the side with morning sun.
