Lagerstroemia ‘Diamonds in the Dark – Best Red’ (Crape Myrtle)

Lagerstroemia ‘Diamonds in the Dark – Best Red’ is a striking ornamental shrub known for its dramatic near-black foliage and vivid red summer blooms. New growth emerges in early spring with rich dark leaves that create a bold contrast against the intense flower colour.

From summer through to the first frost, it produces masses of bright red flowers that create a long-lasting, high-impact display. Ideal for feature planting, hedging, and mass plantings, this variety delivers strong seasonal colour and modern landscape appeal with minimal maintenance.
