A new selection of evergreen magnolia suitable for little spaces, Sweet Spire grows upright and slim. Dark green leaves with a velvet copper underside provide a dramatic backdrop to the large creamy white fragrant flowers. As a low-growing specimen, this variety suits tight positions where a narrow screen is required. Mulch to keep the roots cool and moist and give a weekly deep soak in prolonged dry weather. Prune and fertilize in spring.
