Shadow Magic Crape Myrtle is a semi-dwarf shrub with a dense upright habit and near black deep purple foliage. The abundant large clusters of dark rose red flowers bloom early in summer and will bloom again later in summer if the first flush of flowers is deadheaded. Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Shadow Magic is incredibly disease resistant, especially to powdery mildew.
