Magnolia Little Gem is a gem in the home garden

The stunning dwarf magnolia Little Gem is the perfect small tree for the home garden.  An evergreen beauty with stunning dense foliage, leaves are dark glossy green on one side and brown/rusty velvet on the other, ideal for screening. The beautiful creamy-white flowers bloom throughout Summer and Autumn, and have a slight citrus perfume. Once established the Little Gem Magnolia is very hardy and pretty much disease free, which is a huge plus.

Little Gem grows between 4m-8m high and 2.5m-5m wide, it is a slow-growing plant, but once establish is gorgeous.
















To prune all you need to do is snap of the spent seed pods once they dry out and turn brown.   Try this outstanding little gem of a plant that is perfect for the home garden.
