| Botanical Name | Magnolia x 'Ann' |
| Description | The Saucer Magnolia 'Ann' is a member of the "Little Girl" series, specifically bred to bloom later in the spring than other magnolias to avoid frost damage to the buds. In the Houston metro area, this 7-gallon (7G) tree is an excellent focal point for smaller gardens. It produces deep purple-red, chalice-shaped flowers before its leaves emerge. While it is adaptable, it performs best when protected from the harshest afternoon sun and planted in well-amended soil to help it thrive in our local clay. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 8-10' Height x 8-10' Width |
| Water | Moderate; requires consistent moisture during the summer months to maintain health in the Texas heat. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring as buds begin to swell. |
| Pruning | Minimal; prune only after flowering is complete to avoid cutting off the next season's bloom buds. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
