Magnolia Little Gem 30G-45G

Little Gem Magnolia is a compact evergreen magnolia admired for its lush glossy foliage, fragrant large blooms, and tidy, upright form. Unlike larger Southern magnolia varieties, Little Gem stays more manageable while still delivering the classic magnolia look — creamy white flowers in spring and summer and rich green leaves year-round. Its size and shape make it an excellent choice for formal landscapes, mixed borders, privacy plantings, or as a specimen tree near patios, entries, and drives.
