Magnolia Ann

Common Name:
Ann Magnolia

Description:
Magnolia ‘Ann’ is a compact, deciduous magnolia known for its stunning deep reddish-purple, tulip-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring and often sporadically through summer. Part of the Little Girl hybrid series, this small tree or large shrub is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, offering a spectacular floral display before its lush green foliage emerges. Ann is highly adaptable, thriving in well-drained, slightly acidic soils with full sun to part shade. With its moderate size, frost tolerance, and long-lasting blooms, it makes a beautiful feature plant, hedge, or container specimen in Melbourne gardens.
