'Little Gem' is a dwarf variety of the evergreen magnolia. It has many of the attributes of its parent, Magnolia grandiflora, including large white fragrant flowers, but it is a smaller, more compact plant. 'Little Gem' will reach approximately 4m (12′) in height and 2.5m (8′) in width.
Like the evergreen magnolia, the underside of each leaf on 'Little Gem' is a rich, reddish-brown.
The evergreen magnolia, or Bull Bay magnolia as it is commonly known, grows to around 20m (60′) in cultivation. It has dark, glossy green leaves with a rusty reverse, and large white, lemon scented flowers. It grows best in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and the tropics. In cooler zones it needs a warm, sheltered position.
