Southern Magnolia 'Little Gem'
This is a dwarf Southern Magnolia with smaller dark green foliage and a very compact narrow form. Although it's labeled sward, this very commonly will reach over 25 feet tall at maturity. Its large evergreen leaves have rusty-brown on the undersides with very large, white fragrant blooms that appear in the late spring. Because of its naturally smaller size, it's perfect for smaller gardens and landscapes and is truly something when planted up against a wall or fence! It also makes a great evergreen screen to block unattractive views or to increase privacy.
