Other Details
Description: Black Diamond Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica 'Black Diamond') is a stunning cultivar known for its dramatic dark foliage that emerges deep burgundy and matures to almost black, creating a striking contrast with its vibrant flower colors. The Black Diamond series comes in several flower colors including red, pure white, pink, and deep red. This compact to medium-sized variety maintains a dense, upright growth habit with a vase-shaped form. The bark naturally exfoliates with age, revealing a smooth, mottled trunk that adds winter interest.
History & Origin: Developed by J. Berry Nursery in Texas as part of their Black Diamond® series, introduced in the early 2000s. This series was specifically bred to combine the dramatic black foliage with improved disease resistance and heat tolerance. It represents a significant breakthrough in crape myrtle breeding, as it was one of the first successful attempts to create a truly black-leafed variety that maintains its color throughout the growing season.

Description
History & Origin
Care Instructions
Other Details
Description: Crape Myrtle White (Lagerstroemia indica) is a deciduous shrub or small tree known for its pure white flowers that bloom in summer. The plant's attractive, peeling bark adds winter interest. Crape Myrtle White is often used as a focal point, hedge, or border plant, adding bold color and texture to gardens. Its long blooming period and colorful flowers make it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.
History & Origin: Native to China and Southeast Asia, Crape Myrtle was introduced to the Western world in 1759 by André Michaux to Charleston, South Carolina. The plant was named after Magnus von Lagerstroem, a Swedish naturalist. In its native range, it has been cultivated for over 1,500 years in temple gardens and imperial grounds. The species gained significant popularity in the American South, earning the nickname "Lilac of the South." Major breeding programs in the 20th century, particularly at the U.S. National Arboretum, led to numerous improved cultivars with better disease resistance and varied colors. Dr. Donald Egolf's work there resulted in the release of many disease-resistant cultivars in the 1960s-1980s, revolutionizing Crape Myrtle cultivation in the United States.
Care Instructions:
Sunlight: Plant in full sun.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil.
Watering: Regular watering; drought-tolerant once established.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring.
Pruning: Prune in late winter to shape and encourage new growth.
