Special Attributes

When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!

Pure White is an exciting new Crape Myrtle hybrid that has intense black leaves and pure white flowers! During summer and into fall, Pure White is smothered with white flowers and yellow stamens that contrast stunningly with the intense black leaves. The leaves maintain black color throughout the season until Fall when they drop for the winter.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 10-12 feet tall depending on pruning, and 6-8 feet or so wide, Black Diamond Pure White Crape Myrtle is an ideal selection for smaller garden spaces, and containers. It can be grown as a shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree, making it an excellent choice for use as a specimen or accent in sunny home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also makes a very colorful hedge and is spectacular in groupings. Whether planted as a specimen or in groupings, this is one plant that is sure to stand out in the landscape!

Spacing: 5′ for solid hedge; 10′ for space between plants

Cultural Preferences

Black Diamond Pure White Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.
