First Editions® Purple Magic Crapemyrtle

Do you love crape myrtles but hate the diseases associated with them? Meet the new and improved First Editions® Magic™ Crape Myrtle Series. These crape myrtle trees showcase new color combinations, compact size, and disease resistance. The intensely pigmented violet-purple blooms set the Purple Magic Crape Myrtle apart from other dwarf crape myrtles. The Purple Magic Crape Myrtle produces an abundance of crinkly, purple blooms from July to September. New growth starts out as a red in the spring before turning green in the summer. An additional perk of the Magic Series Crape myrtles is the size. A smaller and more compact dwarf crape myrtle, this tree easily transforms into a nice hedge with its round, bushy form. Growing only 6 to 8 feet high makes this a perfect, compact ornamental tree to dress up any landscape. Not only is this tree bursting with color and compact, but it is also resistant to disease. Compact, dense, and colorful, this tree/shrub variation of the Crape Myrtle is absolutely stunning. Give it sunlight and good drainage and it will take off with little maintenance. Sit back and relax and let this show-stopping Crepe Myrtle perform magic before your eyes!
