Dreaming of a Southern magnolia experience but lacking the space? The Little Gem Magnolia might be your perfect match. This charming dwarf variety offers all the elegance of its larger cousin in a more manageable package. Its upright form boasts an oval, rounded canopy, creating a classic silhouette that complements any garden design. Unlike its sprawling relatives, the Little Gem Magnolia stays compact, reaching a mature height of 20 feet with a width of 14 feet. But don’t be fooled by its size – the Little Gem packs a punch in the floral department. Renowned for its prolific blooms, this magnolia produces a breathtaking display of large, fragrant flowers for a staggering six months, from May all the way through October. Imagine your garden filled with the intoxicating scent of creamy white, saucer-shaped blossoms, each measuring a full 8 inches wide. The visual feast doesn’t stop there. Lush, deep green foliage complements the blooms perfectly. The Little Gem Magnolia boasts beautiful oblong leaves, 5 to 7 inches long, with a glossy sheen on top. Take a closer look, and you’ll find a fascinating contrast – the undersides of the leaves are a fuzzy bronze-brown, adding a touch of textural interest. Compared to its close relative, the Teddy Bear Magnolia, the Little Gem offers a more open and airy canopy, allowing for dappled sunlight to peek through. Plus, it’s a flowering champion, producing a significantly heavier volume of blooms. With narrower leaves and a faster growth rate, the Little Gem Magnolia offers a distinct yet equally captivating alternative for gardens of all sizes.
