Any other suggestions are appreciated. The little gem magnolia has waxy leaves are smaller than other varieties, bloom all summer and are fragrant. I am looking to plant one or another tree that has similar qualities that will grow in this area.
Can little gem magnolia trees grow in Kansas City, MO?

It is hardy in USDA Zones 7 to 10, you are possibly in Zone 6- there are other varieties suitable for cooler climates, but they are not a dwarf variety (I think):
Hardy zone 6 magnolia trees include Star magnolia (Magnolia stellata), which grows in USDA zone 4 through 8, and Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), which grows in zones 5 through 10. Cucumber tree (Magnolia acuminata) is an extremely tough tree that tolerates extreme cold winters of zone 3. Hardiness of Saucer magnolia (Magnolia x soulangiana) depends on the cultivar; some grow in zones 5 through 9.
