Ann Magnolia

The Ann Magnolia is a stunning spring-flowering shrub or small tree that brings bold color and elegant form to the landscape. Part of the Little Girl Series of hybrid magnolias, 'Ann' produces large, tulip-shaped blooms in rich reddish-purple that appear just before or with the emerging leaves in early spring. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, foundation plantings, or as a stunning focal point in mixed borders. 

This deciduous magnolia has a rounded, multi-stemmed habit and provides a second flush of blooms in summer under the right conditions. It's low maintenance and tolerant of a range of soils, thriving in full sun to part shade.
