The Black Diamond Crape Myrtle variety represents the first series of true dark-leaf crape myrtles. The flowers of the Crimson Red Black Diamond bloom in a vibrant red with bright yellow centers which offset the intense hues of the dark leaves. The bright blooms of the Black Diamond reach their productivity peak during the summer and fall months. This variety has been described as having an intermediate growth habit, reaching 10 ft. to 12 ft. tall, a spread of up to 8 ft. and can be used as a specimen or in mass plantings. We have found Crimson Red to naturally take on a shrubbier habit. The bloom color is the brightest red in the Black Diamond Collection. Crape Myrtles look particularly nice when lining driveways or fences and can also be planted in a container on your deck or patio as long as the container is at least 36 in. Dia. These crape myrtles are drought tolerant, mildew resistant and low-maintenance. The plant is shipped in a #3 pot with a minimum height of 18 in. Hardy in USDA zones: 7-9. This crape myrtle can be used in Zones 4-6 if in a planter and brought in during the winter months.
