The Lunar Magic® is a beautiful crape myrtle that combines rich purple-black foliage with loads of shocking white flower clusters all showcased on red stems and a beautiful upright oval form. Lunar Magic® is much more generous in flower production and more intermediate in stature compared to other dark-leafed crape myrtles. This prolific bloomer starts flowering in June and can be cycle pruned to bring plants into flower every 35-45 days for blooms from early summer through fall. With a maturity size of 6 ft. to 10 ft. tall and a spread between 4 ft. to 8 ft. it takes on an upright, oval shape. Fast finish times, natural intermediate size, big flowers, healthy, shiny leaves, disease resistance and multiple bloom cycles per summer makes this crape myrtle pure magic. Cold hardy in USDA Zones 7-9. It is shipped in a #7 pot with a minimum tree height of 2 feet.
