Magnolia x Ann
The Ann Magnolia is a breathtakingly beautiful ornamental hybrid tree, prized for its elegance and vibrant blossoms. A deciduous magnolia, it is a smaller variety that typically grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet, making it an ideal focal point in gardens or compact landscapes.
The Ann Magnolia has a graceful, rounded form with smooth, grayish bark that contrasts beautifully with its lush, deep green foliage. In early spring, before the leaves fully emerge, the tree bursts into an enchanting display of large, tulip-shaped flowers. These blooms are a rich, velvety reddish-purple on the outside, fading to a softer pink or white on the inside, creating a dynamic gradient effect.
As the season progresses, the Ann Magnolia continues to charm with its glossy leaves, which provide a fresh, vibrant backdrop for the garden throughout the summer. In fall, the foliage transitions to a golden-yellow hue before shedding for the winter, revealing its elegant, sculptural branching.
This tree is not only a symbol of beauty but also of resilience, thriving in various soil types and conditions. It is a hybrid variety, developed as part of the “Little Girl” series of magnolias, known for their hardiness and adaptability.
The Ann Magnolia is often associated with renewal, strength, and grace, making it a beloved addition to any landscape, whether as a solitary statement tree or part of a larger garden composition.
