Magnolia grandiflora 'Sweet 'n' Neat' is a compact and dwarf form of the beloved Southern Magnolia, specifically cultivated for its small stature and manageable growth. Offered in a 40cm container, it is an ideal choice for those seeking the grandeur of magnolias in more confined spaces, such as small gardens, patios, or even as a decorative indoor plant.

Common Name: Sweet 'n' Neat Southern Magnolia
Mature Height (meters): Approximately 2-3 meters
Mature Width (meters): Around 1-2 meters
Spacing: Plant 1.5-2 meters apart from other plants or structures to allow for its mature spread.
Foliage: This variety exhibits the classic glossy, dark green leaves of Southern Magnolias but in a smaller scale. The leaves maintain their vibrant color throughout the year, providing continuous visual interest.
Flowering Period: 'Sweet 'n' Neat' produces the signature fragrant, creamy-white flowers of magnolias, though smaller in size. These charming blooms typically appear in early summer and can occasionally reappear throughout the growing season.
Form/Habit: It has a compact, rounded form, making it a perfect fit for limited spaces. Its dense growth habit ensures a full, lush appearance.
Uses: Due to its diminutive size, it's excellent for small gardens, container planting, and indoor settings where space is at a premium. It's also suitable as a border plant or a low hedge in residential landscapes.
Evergreen/Deciduous: Evergreen
Tolerates: Adaptable to a variety of well-draining soils. It's also fairly tolerant of urban pollution.
Drought Hardy: Moderately drought-tolerant once established.
Sun: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; may require occasional pruning to maintain its neat shape and to remove any dead or damaged branches.
Water Requirement: Moderate; regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods and in the first few years of growth.

Magnolia grandiflora 'Sweet 'n' Neat' is an exquisite choice for anyone wishing to enjoy the classic elegance of magnolias in a smaller, more versatile form. Its evergreen nature and charming flowers make it a year-round delight in any setting.
