The Midnight Magic Crape Myrtle is a small, deciduous tree that typically grows to a height of 4 to 6 feet with a similar spread. It is well-suited for USDA hardiness zones 7 to 9 and thrives in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. The tree's compact size and moderate growth rate make it an ideal choice for small gardens, foundation plantings, or as a specimen plant. This variety of crape myrtle is also highly resistant to common diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot, making it a low-maintenance option for any landscape.
One of the most remarkable features of the Midnight Magic Crape Myrtle is its vibrant, pink flowers. These stunning blooms appear in mid-summer and continue into the fall, providing a long-lasting display of color.
