Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sunset Magic crape myrtle is like magic fire the way the true red flowers look against the dark purple foliage. This foliage color holds up perfectly well in the sizzling heat we get in the Deep South. We humbly think our two purple-leaved crape myrtles are sensational and offer them as choices for your design needs and preferences. Lagerstroemia Sunset Magic is taller than Midnight Magic and has red flowers instead of pink. Sunset Magic crape myrtle is one of four First Editions® crape myrtles that we grow.
