Purple Magic Crape Myrtle

For vibrant color, nothing beats the Crape Myrtles, blooming all summer and brightening the hottest days. Many are shades of pink or lilac, but for the richest purple, we have the Purple Magic Crape Myrtle. This medium-sized shrub fits perfectly into smaller gardens and areas where an upright tree form is not needed. Even before flowering begins, this great shrub will brighten your garden with the red tones of its new spring growth. The leaves mature into a rich, deep green that is always glossy even at the height of summer.

• Fabulous rich purple flowers all summer and fall
• Red spring growth for early interest in the garden
• Very drought resistant
• Thrives in heat and sun
• Disease resistant foliage is always clean and glossy

For a hot, sunny location, even in poor soil, the Purple Magic Crape Myrtle cannot be beaten. It will flower all summer and then again in the fall, after which the leaves turn orange and red before falling to reveal the mottled bark. This shrub is very drought resistant, so you can relax and enjoy its beauty without getting out the garden hose. It is also disease resistant, so always looks great even when the humid weather is at its height.
