Title: 75L
Sale price$900.00

Magnolia grandiflora 'Sweet 'n' Neat' is a compact, dwarf Southern Magnolia prized for its manageable size and elegant form. Growing 2–3 meters tall and 1–2 meters wide, it’s perfect for small gardens, patios, containers, or even indoor settings where space is limited.

This variety features glossy, dark green leaves year-round and produces fragrant, creamy-white flowers in early summer, sometimes blooming intermittently through the season. With a dense, rounded habit, it provides lush, continuous greenery and seasonal floral charm.

Adaptable to well-draining soils and tolerant of urban pollution, it prefers full sun to partial shade. Moderately drought-tolerant once established, 'Sweet 'n' Neat' requires low maintenance with occasional pruning to maintain its neat shape.

Ideal for small spaces and elegant borders, this magnolia delivers classic beauty in a versatile, compact form.
