Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem'
Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem' is a compact, evergreen Southern magnolia prized for its refined habit, glossy foliage and beautifully scented flowers. The dark green leaves are thick and leathery, with striking rusty-brown undersides that add year-round interest even when the plant is not in bloom.
From summer into early autumn, large creamy white flowers appear, filling the air with a rich, lemony fragrance. Naturally upright and slower growing than traditional magnolia grandiflora varieties, ‘Little Gem’ is ideal for smaller gardens, patio containers, or as an architectural feature in borders. It thrives best in well-drained soil in a sheltered position with full sun or light shade.
