Black Diamond Crapemyrtles are a revolutionary series with stunning near-black foliage crowned with masses of magenta-pink blooms. Low-maintenance and drought tolerant, Mystic Magenta Black Diamonds bring beauty to every garden. Ideas for Use: Attractive flowering hedges or beautiful trees to line your driveway or fence, Black Diamonds are also perfect planted in decorative pots to place on your deck, porch or balcony. Disclaimer: When you first unpack your Black Diamond, the blooms may start out white for the first couple of weeks. This is due to being in a dark box away from the sunlight this plant craves. You may trim or wait for the red blooms to appear.
