Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem, 3L Pots & Planters forming evergreen mounds of leatheryA dwarf version of the sprawling Magnolia grandiflora, Little Gem is a small, evergreen tree bearing a mass of sweetly scented white flowers, which it produces even from a young age. With its compact size, its an ideal specimen for smaller gardens or a large pot, but it will require a position sheltered from cold winds. Leaves are glossy green, with a brown velvety backing, and the flowers are followed by large seedpods for extended interest.
