Plum Magic Lagerstroemia, Crape Myrtle 'Plum Magic', Crapemyrtle 'Plum Magic'
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.
