Lagerstroemia ‘Plum Magic’ (Crape Myrtle)
Lagerstroemia ‘Plum Magic’ (Crape Myrtle) is an upright, rounded, deciduous shrub or small tree with abundant clusters of fuchsia-pink flowers at its branch tips in early summer. It will bloom again in late summer if the first flush of flowers are deadheaded. Emerging plum-purple, the foliage matures to rich dark green as the season progresses, nicely setting off the bright flowers. This crape myrtle is highly resistant to leaf spot and powdery mildew. It makes a great specimen plant, thanks to the beauty of its blooms and foliage.

- A full sun lover, this plant is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drainedsoils. Drought and heat tolerant. Water regularly until established. To help crape myrtles retain water, mulch with organic matter 2-3 in. deep (5-7 cm).
- Good disease and pest resistance. Crape myrtles are not usually browsed by deer.
- Perfect as a specimen plant or for foundation plantings.
- During the growing season, clip off spent flowers to promote a second, lighter bloom.
- Crape myrtles bloom on new wood and should be pruned in winter or early spring. Remove dead branches any time.
