Southern Magnolia 'Little Gem'
Botanical Name: Magnolia grandiflora 'Little Gem'
Family: Magnoliaceae
Origin: Asia/Pacific
Plant Type: Evergreen tree
Overview
A compact Southern Magnolia ideal for Adelaide and South Australian gardens, combining year-round glossy foliage with large, lemon-scented white blooms. ‘Little Gem’ keeps a narrow, upright habit that suits hedging, feature spots and big pots where space is tight. Tough once established, it handles heat, wind and coastal conditions with minimal fuss.
Key Features
- Mature Size: 4–6 m H × 2–3 m W (narrow pyramidal)
- Growth Rate: 20-40 cm per year under good conditions
- Foliage: Glossy dark green above; rich rusty-brown felt beneath; new growth brighter green before deepening; older leaves may yellow/brown before shedding—great year-round polish with seasonal tints
-
Flowers: Large, creamy-white, lemon-fragrant blooms mainly summer, with spot flowering in warm spells
- Seasonal Interest: Evergreen gloss all year → summer perfume and flowers → decorative seed cones and strong form through winter
- Wildlife Value: Good for pollinators (nectar-rich flowers)
- Tolerance: Drought-Tolerant (once established), Heat-Tolerant, Frost Hardy (light–moderate), Wind-Tolerant; Coastal-Tolerant in sheltered sites; Clay-Tolerant if well-drained
- Planting Density: Avenue/specimen: 1 tree per 6–9 m² (2.5–3 m apart), depending on desired canopy
- Pet Friendly: Generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs
Where It Works Best
- Sunlight: Full sun to part shade (best flowering in full sun)
- Soil: Well-drained, moisture-retentive loam/sandy loam/clay loam; avoid waterlogging
- Water Needs: Establishment: 2 deep soaks/week for 8–12 weeks. Established: deep soak every 10–14 days in summer (weekly in heatwaves); monthly in winter if dry
- Maintenance: Mulch in spring; light shape after flowering or late winter; feed in early spring (balanced, low-P if soils are alkaline)
- Lifespan: 25-50 years
- Climate Zones: Suited to temperate & Mediterranean SA gardens, including coastal Adelaide (with some shelter)
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral; tolerates mildly alkaline if drainage is good
Landscape & Design Ideas
- Privacy screening and boundary hedges with a refined, evergreen finish
- Mass plant along driveways/avenues for repeated summer perfume and glossy structure
- Feature near entries and outdoor living spaces; excellent in large containers for courtyards
Why You Will Love It
‘Little Gem’ brings big Magnolia flowers and fragrance to Adelaide gardens without needing a giant space. Its upright, compact habit makes screening and avenue planting easy, and the evergreen gloss keeps things looking finished year-round. Built for South Australia’s Mediterranean climate, it’s a low-fuss, high-impact statement tree for homes and streetscapes across SA.

Absolutely Stunning Glitter with Thoughtful Packaging! | Rainy Rainbow
Color: Rainy-Rainbow, Color: Rainy-Rainbow
This glitter is breathtaking! The sparkles catch the light very beautifully — it has a mesmerizing, holographic shine that’s perfect for adding extra pizzazz to any project.
When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was packaged. The box was securely sealed, and everything inside was perfectly intact—minor spills, no mess.
A heads up on opening the entire thing: the round container’s Lid is screwed on VERY LOOSELY. Be mindful when you’re unboxing. Screw it back on very tightly.
The spray nozzle on this bottle gives such a beautiful, antique perfume vibe—it really elevates the whole experience. It sprays the glitter perfectly, so it’s easy to get a flawless application every time. (Don’t forget to keep the little nozzle cover to protect it!) Honestly, I wouldn’t apply it any other way than with the bottle—it just makes everything so much smoother. 🤷🏻♀️
If you happen to go overboard, just grab the closest shirt and wipe off any excess. No point in wasting any of this stuff! :)
Oh, & those two little gloss bottles are actually glue, which is perfect for keeping everything right where you need it to be.
Here’s a little pro tip: I used the same tape that kept the box sealed to reseal the lid of the round glitter container until I’m ready to use it.
Worked like a charm! 😎 It’s a small detail, but it will keep everything neat, and prevent unwanted glitter explosions in the future.
If you’re a sparkle lover, you’ll adore this glitter—it’s as pretty in person as it looks online!

They were cute and stayed on for days!
Color: Set B:3 gold+3 silver
These face sparkle tattoos are great! If you apply them right, they can last several days.
My first try, I got the entire tattoo wet all at once. It slid around and it ended up crooked. And because I couldn’t apply pressure to the entire area, some of the spots came off fairly easy.
My second attempt was much better. I started on my nose area and then did one cheek at a time, holding it firmly in place the entire time. It was straight and everything stayed on until days later whenI used makeup remover to take it off.
I really love these. I wore them for the holidays and felt fun and festive. I WILL buy them again!

Worth it!
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
Great product. Great price. Used for myself and a friend for her first 5k race. I also let me 3yr old daughter wear some for her 1 mile fun run. They lasted throughout the day/race. My recommendation if you buy. Cut the single piece into 3 separate. Nose, one for each side and apply in 3 separate sections. It takes a touch longer BUT it is easier to apply. Especially if your face is smaller and it’s easier to handle.

Rave Freckles!
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
I got these for a Rave. They were very cute once I figured out the best way to put them on. I had to go through 2 before I figured it out. They stayed on well (as well as any temp tattoo can). If you have trouble getting them off, just get some facial oil cleanser! They were cute and I got lots of compliments.

Easy application
Color: Set D:6 holographic multicolor
Lasts all day. Is a bit sticky to the touch once applied (which actually helps keep my glasses from slipping). Fairly easy to remove with some oil and a cloth, didn't try removal wipes that come with them.
