LATIN NAME:Lagerstroemia × 'Ebony Embers'
Ebony Embers™ Crape Myrtle is an eye-catching deciduous shrub celebrated for its dramatic dark foliage and vibrant red blooms. Throughout the summer months, brilliant clusters of scarlet-red flowers create a striking contrast against the plant's deep burgundy to nearly black leaves, making it a standout feature in any landscape. Its compact growth habit and exceptional heat tolerance make it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, borders, accent gardens, and containers.
This variety is highly valued for its long-lasting blooms, excellent disease resistance, and beautiful foliage that provides interest well beyond the flowering season.
Amount of Sunlight: Prefers full sun.
Amount of Water: Requires regular watering while becoming established but becomes relatively drought tolerant once mature.
Soil Conditions: Prefers well-drained soil and adapts well to a variety of soil types.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 6–9
Ebony Embers™ Crape Myrtle performs best in warm, sunny locations with good air circulation. Applying mulch around the base of the plant will help retain soil moisture and protect the roots from extreme temperatures. Light pruning during late winter or early spring will help maintain its natural form and encourage vigorous new growth and abundant flowering.
