Coral Magic Crape Myrtle

The Coral Magic Crape Myrtle brings months of color to your garden, starting with red foliage in spring, as the new leaves emerge. By June the first flowers will be opening, and their vibrant coral-pink color will fill your garden with joy. All through summer blooming never stops, and the foliage remains healthy and fresh, because unlike older varieties this bush is resistant to unsightly leaf diseases. Its moderate size – just 6 to 10 feet tall and across – makes this beauty ideal for a smaller garden, or a lower screen or informal hedge. Through all the warmer zones this plant will thrive, resisting drought and heat and creating magical color. Plant it as a specimen on a lawn, or even in large planters to bring height and interest to your terrace, pool area or patio.

• Rich red spring foliage for early color
• Smothered in coral-pink flowers all summer and into fall
• Thrives in full sun, poor soil, and urban conditions
• Disease resistant, so always clean and attractive
• Easily trimmed to control the height and keep it bushy

Plant the Coral Magic Crape Myrtle in full sun, for maximum blooming and leaf color. It will grow in any well-drained soil, including sands, gravels and even clay. It thrives in urban conditions, and near the sea too. Unlike older varieties of crape myrtle, this plant has been selected for resistance to powdery mildew and Cercospora leaf spot, diseases that blight the foliage and cause premature leaf drop. Always healthy, this handsome shrub will rapidly grow into a graceful feature in your garden, and be beautiful for months on end, with no effort at all from you.
