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.

Hardy, evergreen and relatively low maintenance once established, it performs exceptionally well in a wide range of New Zealand conditions.

Soil

Prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid permanently wet or poorly drained sites.

Watering

Water regularly during establishment and throughout dry periods, especially during summer while flowering.

Feeding

Feed in spring with a quality slow-release fertiliser formulated for flowering trees and shrubs to encourage healthy foliage and prolific blooms.

Spacing

Allow approximately 2–3m between plants for hedging or screening. Specimen trees should be given additional room to develop naturally.

How to maintain your Magnolia Grandiflora Super Gem once established?

Very low maintenance once established. Light trimming after flowering can help maintain shape and encourage bushier growth if using as a hedge or screen.
