Rating: 2/5
Review: I was really disappointed with the Dark Hour Magic Crepe Myrtle. The flowers were not as dark as I expected. They were more of a faded purple rather than a deep, rich color. Additionally, the tree didn't bloom as profusely as I had imagined. I had heard great things about this variety, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

Review: I can't believe I wasted my money on the Dark Hour Magic Crepe Myrtle. The tree was supposed to have stunning dark purple blooms, but all I got were pale, washed-out flowers. The tree also didn't grow as tall or as full as I had hoped. It was a complete disappointment and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Review: The Dark Hour Magic Crepe Myrtle was a letdown for me. The blooms were not as vibrant as shown in the pictures. The colors were dull and faded, and they didn't last very long either. The tree itself didn't have a strong structure and appeared rather weak. Overall, I was not impressed and won't be purchasing this variety again.
