Magnolia Teddy Bear

Magnolia Teddy Bear

Magnolia Teddy Bear is a refined evergreen magnolia prized for its dense, upright habit and luxurious foliage. Its dark green, glossy leaves are contrasted by soft, cinnamon-brown undersides, creating year-round visual interest. In late spring through summer, large creamy-white flowers appear, filling the garden with a light, pleasant fragrance. Its narrow form makes it ideal for hedging, privacy screens, or as a striking standalone specimen in smaller landscapes.

This magnolia is valued for its manageable size and tidy growth, making it well suited for residential gardens, courtyards, and formal plantings. Magnolia Teddy Bear performs reliably in warm climates and offers excellent resistance to wind and urban conditions when properly established.
