- Compact, upright evergreen with glossy deep-green leaves and velvety, copper‑brown undersides; classic, fragrant white blooms (≈6–8 in.).
- Scaled for smaller spaces—typically ~16–20 ft. tall × ~10–12 ft. wide with a neat, pyramidal form.
- Long bloom window (summer into fall) plus year‑round foliage for four‑season structure.
- Easy‑care in full sun with rich, well‑drained, slightly acidic soil; water deeply to establish, then maintain even moisture.
Teddy Bear Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora ‘Southern Charm’ PP13,049) brings the timeless magnolia look to modest footprints. Dense, shiny foliage with plush, coppery leaf backs frames large, lemon‑scented white flowers from summer into fall, creating a brilliant focal point that also works as an evergreen screen or container accent. Sized at about 16–20 feet tall by 10–12 feet wide, it thrives in full sun and nutrient‑rich, well‑drained, slightly acidic soils—rewarding minimal upkeep with four‑season elegance.
Plant Description
A very compact southern magnolia with an upright, pyramidal habit. Dense branching carries glossy, deep‑green leaves lined underneath with thick, velvety, reddish‑brown indumentum for striking texture year‑round.
Flowers & Fragrance
Large, creamy‑white, cup‑to‑saucer blooms (approximately 6–8 inches across) with a classic, sweet citrus fragrance. Excellent for cutting and close‑up viewing near seating areas.
Bloom Time
Main flush in summer with rebloom into fall, extending interest well beyond spring‑flowering trees.
Foliage & Texture
Evergreen, leathery leaves—deep green above; plush copper to cinnamon beneath—provide depth and contrast, especially when sited against light‑colored walls or pale perennials.
Habit & Size
Typically matures around 16–20 ft. tall and 10–12 ft. wide, maintaining a tight, formal outline that suits small urban gardens and foundation beds.
Sun Requirements
Full sun (6+ hours/day) for best flowering density, leaf gloss, and a compact silhouette; tolerates light afternoon shade in hotter regions.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first few growing seasons to establish an extensive root system. Once established, maintain even moisture; brief dry spells are tolerated if soil is well‑prepared and mulched.
Soil Requirements
Prefers deep, nutrient‑rich, slightly acidic, well‑drained soil. Avoid chronically wet or compacted sites. Apply organic mulch to moderate temperature and conserve moisture (keep mulch off the trunk).
Hardiness
USDA Zones 7–9.
Special Features
Compact form for small spaces; evergreen privacy; fragrant, showy flowers; adaptable to coastal exposure; generally tolerant of road salt and brief wet periods once established.
Landscape Uses
Specimen for courtyards or front lawns, evergreen screen along property edges, backdrop to light‑toned shrubs/perennials, or as a statement in large containers on terraces and entries.
Container & Espalier Tips
Performs well in large, well‑drained containers (use a high‑quality, acidic mix). Can be trained as a formal espalier against sunny walls to maximize bloom display and save depth.
Care Instructions
Feed in early spring before new growth. Prune after flowering only to remove dead, damaged, or crossing wood or to maintain clearance—heavy shaping is rarely needed due to its naturally tidy habit.
Spacing & Placement
For screening, space 8–12 ft. on center depending on desired density. Site with room for the lower limbs if you prefer a full‑to‑ground look; elevate the canopy gradually if used as a small tree.
Design Tips
Pair with hydrangeas, gardenias, oakleaf hydrangea, or silver/variegated foliage to highlight the coppery leaf undersides and creamy flowers. Use uplighting to emphasize the form and shiny leaves at night.
