Magnolia ‘Little Gem’

Description

Magnolia ‘Little Gem’ is a compact, evergreen magnolia prized for its elegant upright growth, glossy deep-green leaves and large, fragrant white flowers. It is a smaller-growing form of Southern Magnolia, making it a popular choice for home gardens where a classic magnolia is desired without the size of a full-scale tree.

The large white blooms appear mainly from spring through summer, with occasional flowering at other times of the year. The foliage has a rich green upper surface with a warm, bronze-brown underside, adding year-round interest.
