Black Diamond® Purely Purple™ is perfect if you're looking to add rich color and bold contrast to your garden. Its deep purple blooms really stand out against the dark, almost black foliage, creating a striking look from summer into fall. The upright, compact shape makes it easy to fit into smaller spaces or mix into borders. This crape myrtle is heat tolerant, low-maintenance, and resists powdery mildew, so it looks great with very little fuss.
Lagerstroemia indica Black Diamond® Purely Purple™ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, then reduce frequency once established. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage vigorous new growth and flowering. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
