FIRST EDITIONS Purple Magic Crape Myrtle 3 Gallon

Blooming in early summer with dark purple flowers, this dense shrub form of crape myrtle fits in the landscape where taller crape myrtles do not. The new growth has a reddish tint and eventually matures to glossy green, setting off the rich purple flowers.

We needed to replace two of our old, dead crape myrtles so we ordered two of these. They came with some blooms and once we planted and watered them well they really bloomed! Beautiful purple blooms lasted well into fall, can’t wait until they bloom back up this summer

Very impressed!! Tree arrived intact due to great packaging. Followed the included directions for planting and after a few days she already has some new growth. Can’t wait for her to mature and bloom.
