Magnolia grandiflora ‘Little Gem’, known as the Little Gem Magnolia, is a compact, evergreen variety of the Southern Magnolia with a columnar to pyramidal shape that’s well-suited for use as a specimen tree or in formal gardens. It boasts many of the same characteristics as its larger relatives, including large, glossy green leaves with rusty-brown undersides and the signature large, creamy-white flowers with a lemony scent.
