IDEAS FOR USE:

Purple Magic™ Crape Myrtle blooms in early Summer with dark purple flowers. The new growth on this dense shrub starts with a reddish tint and matures to a glossy green color that beautifully compliments the dark purple blooms. This Crape Myrtle is the perfect fit for landscapes where taller Crape Myrtles will not fit. As with all Crape Myrtles in the Magic series, Purple Magic™ has high resistance to leaf spot and powdery mildew. In addition, this Crape Myrtle will re-bloom in late Summer if the first flush of flowers are deadheaded.
