Dwarf magnolia is a compact evergreen shrub notable for its leathery, glossy leaves that are smaller in size and feature a distinctive copper hue on their undersides. In the period from late winter through spring, dwarf magnolia becomes particularly eye-catching as it produces an abundance of creamy white, aromatic blossoms that emerge from the plant's characteristic velvet brown buds. After the blooming phase, timely pruning is recommended to maintain its appealing shape and promote the growth of new buds that will result in future flowers. The flowers' strong fragrance and the dense floral coverage offer a stunning visual and olfactory experience during the flowering period.
