Pure White Black Diamond Crape Myrtle

The Pure White™ Black Diamond® Crape Myrtle brings a dramatic new look to crape myrtles – brilliant white flowers against a backdrop of glossy red-black foliage. The blooms continue from early summer to the first frost, and the foliage holds its color all season too. Together they create a stunning combination that you will love. This small tree grows just 12 feet tall, or even less with regular pruning, so it fits into any garden space. Use it as specimen tree, a screen or informal hedge, or as a background to other shrubs and flowers. Wherever you plant it, you will love the double reward of blooms and foliage on this easy to grow plant.

• Dramatic white flowers against red-black foliage
• Long blooming period from early summer into fall
• Foliage color stays strong all season long
• Very easily grown, even in poor, dry soil

Plant the Pure White™ Black Diamond® Crape Myrtle in a sunny spot – the more the better. It is perfect for those hot, dry places in poor soil – crape myrtles thrive in difficult locations, including urban gardens and near the seaside. This plant is fully hardy in zones 7 to 9, and in zone 6 it is root hardy, meaning it will reliably re-sprout and flower profusely, even when the upper branches are killed in winter. It is resistant to unsightly powdery mildew, and it remains clean and attractive all summer long.
