Description

Magnolia grandiflora 'Teddy Bear' is a distinctive cultivar of the Southern Magnolia, renowned for its compact, upright growth and dense foliage. This evergreen tree is a favorite among gardeners and landscapers for its manageable size and the luxurious, large, fragrant flowers it produces.

Common Name: Teddy Bear Southern Magnolia
Mature Height (meters): 4-6 meters
Mature Width (meters): 2-3 meters
Spacing: Plant at least 3 meters apart from other plants or structures to ensure proper growth and airflow.
Foliage: The 'Teddy Bear' Magnolia is characterized by its shiny, dark green leaves, which have a beautiful coppery-brown, velvety underside. The dense foliage creates an attractive, compact canopy.
Flowering Period: This variety is known for its large, creamy white, and wonderfully fragrant flowers, typical of Southern Magnolias, which bloom in late spring and summer.
Form/Habit: 'Teddy Bear' has a naturally conical to pyramidal shape, with a dense, upright form that requires little pruning to maintain.
Uses: Due to its smaller stature, it's perfect for residential gardens as a feature tree, in borders, or as a privacy screen. It's also well-suited for large container planting on patios or decks.
Evergreen/Deciduous: Evergreen
Tolerates: Adaptable to a variety of soil types, as long as they are well-draining. It's also somewhat resistant to urban pollution.
