A member of the beloved \"Little Girl\" hybrid series developed at the U.S. National Arboretum, Ann is prized for its deep red-purple, tulip-shaped blooms and a size that fits where traditional magnolias simply won't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts fragrant, goblet-shaped flowers open from tapered buds and cover the bare branches in early to mid-spring, putting on a bold display before the leaves emerge. Because the Little Girl hybrids bloom later than many early-spring magnolias, the flowers are less likely to be caught by late frosts. With an upright, shrubby habit that matures at roughly 8-10 feet tall and wide, Ann is a perfect fit for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and small yards. Whether planted as a specimen, a flowering hedge, or a small ornamental tree, the Ann Magnolia delivers dramatic spring color in a manageable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love the Ann Magnolia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich, deep-colored blooms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, fragrant, tulip-shaped flowers in striking shades of red-purple and purple-pink.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrost-smart bloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of the Little Girl series, which flowers later than many early-blooming magnolias and helps reduce the risk of frost damage to the buds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePossible summer rebloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e With enough moisture, may produce a smaller second flush of flowers later in the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact, manageable size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matures at roughly 8-10 feet tall and wide, ideal for smaller landscapes and tighter spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold hardy and adaptable:\u003c\/strong\u003e A tough, reliable magnolia suited to a wide range of climates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady to grow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each tree is shipped in a \u003cstrong\u003e2.5\" pot or 1-gallon trade pot depending on the option selected\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing a young, established plant ready to transition into your landscape or a larger container.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Spring Showpiece in a Compact Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew flowering trees combine dramatic blooms and compact size the way the Ann Magnolia does. Developed in the Little Girl series by crossing Lily Magnolia and Star Magnolia parentage, Ann brings together the rich flower color of one and the cold hardiness and compact form of the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn spring, large, sweetly scented, purple-red flowers cover the bare branches in a bold display. As the blooms fade, fresh green foliage emerges and fills out an upright, multi-stemmed form that stays attractive throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect for Foundation Plantings, Borders \u0026amp; Specimens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ann Magnolia is a versatile small tree that fits a wide range of landscape needs. Plant it as a lawn specimen, tuck it into a foundation planting, anchor a mixed shrub border, or space several together to form a flowering hedge or screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause your tree arrives in a \u003cstrong\u003e2.5\" pot or a 1-gallon trade pot\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is easy to handle and plant while it establishes its root system. Choose your planting location carefully, since magnolias have fleshy roots that dislike being disturbed once established, and give your young magnolia plenty of room to grow into its mature size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnn Magnolia Care Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil consistently moist while your tree is becoming established. Pay particular attention to watering while the tree is still in its 2.5\" pot or 1-gallon container, as smaller containers can dry out more quickly during hot or windy weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter planting, water deeply and regularly until the root system becomes established. Magnolias prefer evenly moist soil but do not tolerate overly wet, waterlogged ground. A layer of mulch around the root zone can help conserve moisture and moderate soil temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSunlight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnn Magnolia performs best in \u003cstrong\u003efull sun to partial shade\u003c\/strong\u003e, with at least 4-6 hours of direct sun daily. Full sun encourages the heaviest flowering, while a little afternoon shade can be beneficial in areas with intense summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant in fertile, moist, well-draining soil that is slightly acidic. Avoid sites that stay soggy or dry out completely, as magnolias perform best with consistent moisture and good drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFertilizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnn Magnolia generally does not require heavy fertilization. Once established, if additional nutrients are needed, use a balanced fertilizer formulated for acid-loving trees and shrubs in early spring and follow the manufacturer's application instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePruning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLittle pruning is needed. Allow your young tree to establish, then prune only as needed to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. If shaping is desired, prune immediately after flowering to avoid removing next year's flower buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCommon Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnn Magnolia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eMagnolia\u003c\/em\u003e 'Ann'\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlant Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeciduous Flowering Tree \/ Large Shrub\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 - 8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eContainer Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5\" Pot or 1-Gallon Trade Pot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Sun to Partial Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSoil\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoist, Well-Drained, Slightly Acidic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMature Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-10 ft.

Because magnolias have fleshy roots that dislike disturbance, it is best to choose a permanent spot and avoid moving the tree once established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow often should I water my Ann Magnolia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile your tree is in its 2.5\" pot or 1-gallon trade pot, check the soil regularly and water thoroughly when the soil begins to dry. Containers can dry out quickly during hot or windy weather. After planting, water regularly until the tree becomes established, and avoid soggy conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big will my Ann Magnolia be when it arrives?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour Ann Magnolia is shipped as a young tree. Because plants are living products, actual height, branching, and overall shape can naturally vary depending on the season and growing conditions. Young magnolias may take a few seasons to reach full flowering size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen is the best time to plant my Ann Magnolia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnn Magnolia can generally be planted when weather and soil conditions are suitable. Mild weather is ideal for reducing transplant stress. Avoid planting when the ground is frozen or during periods of extreme heat, and provide consistent moisture after planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes an Ann Magnolia need to be pruned?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery little pruning is needed. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches as necessary, and if you want to shape the tree, prune right after flowering so you don't remove next year's flower buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I keep my Ann Magnolia in its 2.5\" pot ot 1-gallon pot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1-gallon trade pot is intended primarily for growing and shipping the young tree rather than as a permanent container. For the best long-term growth, we recommend planting your magnolia in the landscape or transplanting it into a larger, appropriately sized container as it grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use Ann Magnolia as a hedge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Its compact, upright, multi-stemmed habit makes it a nice choice for a flowering hedge or screen.
