Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem' - foliaj vesnic verde, flori parfumate (exemplare tinere)

Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem' is a compact and dwarf variety of magnolia grandiflora, appreciated both for its spectacular flowers and its small size, which makes it ideal for small garden spaces or for growing in pots, as well as for its spectacular foliage.

Magnolia 'Little Gem' is known for its large, white flowers, very fragrant, which appear from spring to autumn. The flowers have fleshy petals and are cup-shaped. They are usually about 10-12 cm in diameter, although some can reach larger sizes.

The leaves are also attractive, having an oval shape, a leathery texture, and a shiny dark green color on the top side, with a bronze shade on the underside. This combination of dark green and bronze adds a note of contrast and texture to the landscape. The foliage of this plant is evergreen - the leaves fall only in the context of extreme temperatures.

This magnolia variety grows as a shrub or a small tree, with a height of about 4-6 meters and a width of 2-3 meters. It has slow growth and a pyramidal or oval shape. It is resistant to diseases and pests and prefers well-drained soils, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH.

Cold resistance: withstands down to -20°C. It is preferable to plant it in areas sheltered from strong air currents, for the most pleasant appearance of the foliage.

Pot diameter: 17 cm
Height including pot: approx. 40 cm

Note: We recommend growing in protected spaces until the plant develops more.
