About

The Mystic Magenta Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia 'Mystic Magenta') is a stunning ornamental plant known for its showy, vibrant blooms and attractive, peeling bark. This deciduous shrub or small tree is a popular choice for landscapes and gardens, thanks to its low-maintenance nature and extended blooming season.

The Overall Plant

The Mystic Magenta Crape Myrtle is a versatile and adaptable plant that thrives in USDA hardiness zones 7 to 10. It prefers full sun and well-draining soil, and once established, it is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or regions with limited water resources. The plant typically grows to a height of 10 to 12 feet with a  spread of 6-8 feet, forming a multi-stemmed, vase-shaped structure that provides an attractive architectural element to the landscape. The peeling bark of the Mystic Magenta Crape Myrtle reveals a smooth, cinnamon-colored underbark, adding further visual interest throughout the year.

The Flowers

The flowers of the Mystic Magenta Crape Myrtle are truly the star of the show. During the summer months, the plant produces abundant clusters of vibrant, magenta-colored blooms that create a striking contrast against its dark green foliage. The long-lasting flowers continue to emerge throughout the summer and into the early fall, providing a spectacular display of color for an extended period. The large, showy blooms are also attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding a lively and dynamic element to the garden.
