Magnolia grandiflora "Teddy Bear" VS "Little Gem"

The 'Teddy Bear' Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora 'Southern Charm') is a compact, dwarf evergreen tree prized for its dense, upright pyramidal habit and classic Southern charm. It is an ideal specimen for smaller landscapes, courtyards, or as a refined privacy screen. Size and Growth: It typically reaches a mature height of 15–20 feet and a spread of 10–12 feet. It has a slow to moderate growth rate, making it more manageable than standard Southern Magnolias. Foliage: The tree features glossy, deep green leaves with a distinctive heavy, velvety, reddish-brown underside that resembles teddy bear fur. Its leaves are generally rounder and wider than those of the 'Little Gem' variety. Flowers: It produces large, creamy white, fragrant blossoms that can reach 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Peak blooming occurs from late spring through summer, occasionally continuing into fall. Growing Requirements: Hardiness: Thrives in USDA Zones 7–9. Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade, though some sources recommend full sun for the best flowering and dense growth. Soil: Best in moist, acidic, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Landscape Benefits: It is noted for being deer and rabbit resistant, salt-tolerant, and capable of handling coastal exposures.
