Description
This is the multi-trunk form of the Purple Magic Crape Myrtle, a truly spectacular mid-size variety selected for its ability to produce masses of blooms in a rich, true color…and it won’t disappoint. When in bloom, it will blow you and any who see it away with its abundant, large clusters of crinkled, rich purple flowers over a long period in summer. If the first round of flowers are deadheaded Purple Magic will produce another flush of flowers late summer through mid-fall!
The foliage on Purple Magic is remarkable as well. In spring, the leaves emerge a dark reddish-orange color turning to deep, dark, glossy green when mature. The dark foliage combines very well with brightly colored flowers and foliage of other plants nearby. In our gardens, we’ve found Purple Magic to be a very vigorous grower, doubling in size during each of the first two years, though we think it will slow down over time. It has demonstrated excellent resistance to powdery mildew, even in the hot and humid summers we have here in north-central Georgia.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 6 to 10 feet tall 6 to 8 feet or so wide, Purple Magic Crape Myrtle is ideal for use as an accent tree in almost any size landscape space, even smaller gardens, home foundation plantings and containers. Two can be used to accentuate an entryway. In larger spaces it can be planted in spaced groupings or a straight or curved row to line a drive, walkway or border. A standout in the garden and a fine addition to purple theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 6 feet apart for a hedge; 12 feet or more apart for space between trees
Growing Preferences
Purple Magic Crape Myrtle Tree is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established. Prune in late winter. How To Prune a Crape Myrtle Tree the Right Way
