Evergreen Magnolia
Magnolia ‘Super Gem’ is a stunning evergreen magnolia prized for its compact growth, glossy dark green foliage and masses of beautifully fragrant creamy-white flowers. Flowering from late spring through summer, this elegant tree produces large blooms with a rich citrus-like fragrance that make it a standout feature in gardens, screening and formal landscapes.
Naturally forming a dense upright habit, Magnolia ‘Super Gem’ is ideal for hedging, privacy screening or as a specimen tree in modern gardens where year-round structure and foliage are desired. The undersides of the leaves display warm rusty-brown tones, adding further texture and visual interest throughout the year.
Bred in Australia for improved compactness and flowering performance, Magnolia ‘Super Gem’ has become highly sought after for smaller gardens and urban landscapes. This variety is protected under Plant Breeders Rights (PVR) in Australia, recognising its unique characteristics and commercial breeding value.
