Teddy Bear® Southern Magnolia

Magnolia grandiflora 'Southern Charm': Small-Space Magnolia

For gardeners who love the glossy leaves and fragrant flowers of Southern Magnolia but lack the space for the species' massive stature, 'Teddy Bear®' is the answer. This compact, upright cultivar reaches just 15–35 feet tall with a narrow 7–12 foot spread—perfect for smaller yards, screening, or as an accent tree.

Luxurious Foliage & Flowers

The deep green leaves are smaller than the species but equally lustrous, with a distinctive heavy reddish-brown felt (indumentum) on their undersides—a velvety texture that invites touch. From late spring through summer, large 6–8 inch fragrant white flowers dot the canopy, perfuming the garden for months.
