The Ann Magnolia tree, Magnolia x
Ann, is a member of the 'Little Girl' series of Magnolias that
are the result of a cross originally made at the U.S. National
Arboretum. 'Ann' develops a somewhat open habit with deep
purple-red, 7-9 inch petaled flowers. Ann Magnolia trees are
vigorous and hardy. Best grown in normal garden soil in full
sun.
This magnolia was bred for late bloom (mid-April to early May)
to avoid the hazards of late frost. It forms a shrubby mound and
has leathery green foliage. It has lightly scented
reddish-purple flowers that emerge from beautiful, tapered buds.
There is often sporadic repeat
bloom in mid-summer. The flowers are large and red-purple on
both sides.
