Lagerstroemia ‘Diamonds in the Dark® Blush’ – Crepe Myrtle

Lagerstroemia ‘Diamonds in the Dark® Blush’ is a striking modern Crepe Myrtle prized for its dramatic near-black foliage and abundant soft pink flowers. Deep, almost black leaves emerge in early spring, creating a bold backdrop for the masses of delicate baby-pink blooms that appear from summer through to the first frost.

As autumn arrives, the foliage develops rich orange and red tones before falling, extending the plant’s seasonal interest. Its compact growth habit makes it highly versatile for flowering hedges, mass planting and feature displays. It is also well suited to lining driveways or growing in decorative pots on decks, porches and balconies.
