Crape Myrtle Black Diamond Purely Purple 15 Gallon

This vibrant and exciting color combination makes this shrub a great addition to your garden. The bright purple flowers appear from mid-June to mid-October.

Fertilize at least every spring and summer with an all-purpose blend like our Kerby's Special 8-4-8. And contrary to popular belief, crapes do not require much pruning. You can conduct light prunes whenever, such as expired or poorly placed branches. And prune spent flowers clusters (between the bloom and the next leaves) to encourage a second or even third round of flowers. But save hard prunes for end of winter and never drastically cut back all the branches, this is known as crape murder and can shock your plant. 

Plant with Black Gold Ultra Outdoor Soil and Espoma's Bio-Tone
