Magnolia Little Gem
Magnolia Little Gem
Hey, over here! I may look soft and delicate, but I reign with timeless grace. With my fragrant purple blooms and silvery-green foliage, I bring a calming elegance to any garden or patio. I thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, standing tall even through the heat—making me the true queen of low-maintenance beauty.
I don’t need much fuss—just sunlight, occasional watering, and a little trim now and then. In return, I’ll fill your space with soothing scent and gentle colour, season after season.
Special: Why settle for a short-lived bunch of flowers when you can gift the gentle luxury of lavender? As the Lavender Queen, I symbolise peace, purity, and lasting affection. Whether given as a gift or grown for your own delight, I’m the perfect way to say “you deserve calm and beauty every day.”
Best for: Sunny Garden Beds, Pots, Patios or Balcony Spaces – Full Sun and Well-Drained Soil.

Care mode
Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings—Magnolia Little Gem enjoys a balanced routine that avoids waterlogging. Hardy and adaptable, she thrives in well-drained soil and can handle both sunny and partially shaded positions. During the warmer months, when growth and flowering are at their best, a light feed with fertiliser will help promote lush foliage and those signature creamy white blooms.
Feeding your indoor plants
To keep your Magnolia Little Gem looking lush and magnificent, the right care makes all the difference. Nourish it with The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food to support healthy, glossy foliage and encourage those stunning creamy white blooms. While this magnolia is wonderfully low-maintenance, it will appreciate extra feeding during its active growing and flowering periods in spring and summer.
Watch for fresh new leaves or buds—that’s your cue to give it a little extra attention. For a polished, healthy look, gently wipe the leaves with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine to maintain their natural gloss and keep your Little Gem shining all year round.
We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
