Black Diamond crapes need to be planted in full sun in order for the foliage to stay black. If they do not get full sunlight and are planted in partial shade, their foliage will be more green than black.

Pastel purple blooms and deep black foliage make Black Diamond® LAVENDER LACE™ an elegant accessory for container gardens and landscape beds, but they’ll hold their own as blooming hedges, as well. LAVENDER LACE™ combines traditional beauty with a commanding presence wherever it’s planted. A maximum size of 10-12 feet tall and 8 feet wide lets gardeners use this plant wherever they need a bit of interest in the garden. Plant alone as a specimen or mix and match with other Black Diamond® blooms for an outstanding design.
