A versatile evergreen for compact flowering screening, Magnolia Little Gem is widely planted in Melbourne for its glossy foliage and generous white blooms. With upright, slightly rounded growth and a refined structure, Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem suits screening, hedging and feature planting. A strong choice for both classic and modern garden styles where structure, privacy and seasonal flowering are desired.
Best Uses
Excellent for screening, privacy hedging and feature planting. Well suited to boundary planting, pathways and espalier use against walls. Ideal for creating structured evergreen screens in smaller spaces without overwhelming the garden.
Growth Habit
Upright, slightly rounded growth forms a dense evergreen screen. Glossy dark green foliage provides year round structure, with creamy white flowers appearing from spring through summer, adding seasonal interest.
Size & Spacing
Grows to around 2.5 meters wide and up to 4 meters tall at maturity.
For screening hedges, plant approximately 1 meter apart to create a dense, balanced hedge while allowing space for healthy growth.
Growth Speed
Moderate growth rate. Steady development can be expected in suitable conditions, with regular watering and feeding supporting strong establishment and flowering.
How to Maintain
Low to moderate maintenance with occasional pruning to maintain shape and density. Water regularly during establishment and warm periods. Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and use slow release fertiliser to support healthy growth and flowering.
Good to Know
A widely used evergreen suited to Melbourne conditions. Compact growth makes it well suited to smaller gardens, narrow spaces and espalier use.
