Description
Magnolia, Ann is a stunning ornamental tree known for its bold, early-season blooms and refined structure. This compact magnolia produces magnificent, tulip-shaped flowers in rich shades of reddish-purple to deep pink, opening before the foliage emerges in spring. The blooms release a satisfying, fresh fragrance, making it an excellent choice for areas near patios, walkways, or entrances. Its deep green foliage remains lush throughout summer, providing a lovely contrast to its vibrant spring display. Occasionally, Ann will produce a second, lighter flush of flowers in late summer, adding extra seasonal interest. With its tidy, upright form, this magnolia works beautifully as a specimen tree, in mixed borders, or even in large containers.

- Watering: Once established, water occasionally, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but well-drained

With its stunning early blooms, fresh fragrance, and compact form, Magnolia, Ann is one of the finest choices for adding elegance, structure, and seasonal beauty to the landscape.
