Crepe Myrtle Red Magic

Lagerstroemia indica ‘Red Magic’ PBR is a spectacular cultivar of crepe myrtle known for its vibrant red flowers and disease-resistant foliage. Here’s a detailed look at this stunning ornamental plant:

Features:

  • Flowers: Bright red, crinkled blooms appear in abundant clusters from late spring to summer, continuing into early autumn. The intense color is long-lasting and adds dramatic flair to the garden.
  • Foliage: Dark green, glossy leaves that provide a beautiful backdrop to the flowers. In autumn, the foliage often turns to shades of red, orange, or yellow, extending its seasonal interest.
  • Growth Habit: Upright and compact, reaching a height of about 3–4.5 meters (10–15 feet) and a spread of about 2–3 meters (6–10 feet). This makes it suitable for both small and large gardens.
  • Bark: Smooth, peeling bark in shades of tan or gray adds winter interest.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, which encourages the best flowering and foliage coloration.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soils but is adaptable to a range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils, as long as drainage is adequate.
  • Watering: Once established, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during prolonged dry periods.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove dead or damaged wood in late winter or early spring. Avoid “topping” the tree, as it ruins the natural form.
  • Hardiness: Hardy, tolerating mild frost and heat.
  • Pest and Disease Resistance: Known for excellent resistance to powdery mildew, a common issue in crepe myrtles.

Uses:

  • Specimen Tree: Perfect as a focal point in small yards or large garden spaces.
  • Hedges and Screens: Its upright growth habit makes it ideal for creating colorful privacy screens.
  • Mixed Borders: Pairs beautifully with other sun-loving shrubs, perennials, or ornamental grasses.
  • Urban Landscapes: Its compact size and low maintenance make it suitable for street plantings, courtyards, or urban gardens.

Special Features:

  • PBR (Plant Breeders’ Rights): This designation ensures it is a protected and patented variety, known for its unique and superior traits, like disease resistance and brilliant blooms.
