Here’s 4 quick reasons people love our plants.
Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem
Magnolia grandiflora Little Gem is an absolute superstar and a gorgeous addition to any urban garden. Her big creamy white flowers are scented and will appear in Spring and Summer. And who doesn't love the cut leaf of a magnolia anyway?
Incredible, healthy tubestock plants or your money back.
Description
Paired with her big glossy green leaves and her velvety copper underside, this compact, fast-growing feature tree makes an excellent screening hedge pot plant. She can also be planted in groups: a hardy and reliable gal that makes a consistently solid performer in the landscape. Early spring is a good time to prune and shape if required and she will tolerate being cut back hard if necessary.
- Description
- Quick Facts
- What to use me for: Great as a screening hedge or in a pot. Little Gem will provide a perfect backdrop for garden beds.
-
Where to place me: I love part shade
-
How far to space me: Plant me 2.5 - 4m apart
- Watering conditions: I would love it if you could provide me with irrigation if not I can handle dry periods
-
Soil Conditions: I can handle most soil types but prefer a well-drained mix. Performs best in part shade, and tolerates polluted city atmospheres. Magnolias require organic, well-drained soils with summer irrigation for success.

I grow to: 6 high, 3m wide
Can be kept to: 2.0m high x 1.0m wide
Magnolias prefer moist, fertile and well-drained soil that is slightly acidic, so when planting it helps if the position has been prepared that way. A sunny aspect is best, though they do tolerate partial shade, and some protection from strong winds will help. We advise an annual application of good quality fertiliser in spring, and mulching and watering during the drier months especially when the plant is establishing itself. Once established in the landscape ‘Little Gem’ is a very tough plant that is capable of enduring heat and low levels of frost.
Our plants are beautifully grown, mature tube stock with well-developed roots. They are guaranteed sun-hardened, can be planted directly into the ground and are excellent performers for your garden.
We carefully package your plants into a customised box to ensure safe transport, healthy plants and delivery fast to your door.

Garden Coach: Week 1
Keeping your plants alive the first 30 days is critical. Don't worry, I’ll guide you through
Let me kick off with watering.
Succulents don’t like a lot of water and long periods of drought won’t hurt yours one bit, they’re the best type of plant for forgetful folk, or those that are away from home a fair bit, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t given him a drink yet. One of the most common mistakes people make is watering them too much! The best potting mix for succulents is a well draining one. Using a good potting mix of porous soil for succulents is super important to prevent overwatering. Water your succulent when the soil is dry. Soak it thoroughly rather than giving it regular sips and always empty excess water from the saucer as it will rot the roots. If you’re struggling try one of our self-watering pots they make a plant killer look like a pro! In winter succulents need even less water. You can touch the soil each week and if it’s even a bit damp then leave it alone and try again the following week. Succulents need little moisture and although it seems cruel, a sure-fire way to kill your beauty is by watering it frequently. This will turn it to mush.
If in doubt, leave it without.
Don't leaf just yet!
