 Black Diamond Crape Myrtle Care

Plant in full sun for best flowering.

Crape Myrtles are adaptable to any well-draining soils.

Add about 2 inches of mulch to help the soil retain water and protect the roots.

For the fastest growth and the best flowers feed when planting and in spring with our balanced slow release fertilizer.

Prune during dormancy if needed. Black Diamond Crape Myrtle trees bloom on new growth so you do not need to worry about trimming off buds.

Black Diamond Crapes thrive in zones 7 to 10.

Pro Tip: Zone 6 can grow these beauties in the ground and treat as a perennial. Simply mulch the roots heavily in winter. Your plant will emerge from the roots in spring and reach about 4 feet every year. When new growth begins to emerge, trim back the previous year’s dead wood.

Black Diamond is a superb group of dwarf crape myrtles that are in high demand for color, blooms, foliage, low maintenance, and disease resistance. Buy Black Diamond Crape Myrtle for great quality, prices, and convenience!
