Black Diamond Crape Myrtle Care
This brilliant flowering shrub will bloom all summer up until fall’s first frost. For best results, grow in full sun to partial shade with well-amended soil; once established, Black Diamond Crape Myrtle trees are very drought tolerant.
Will benefit from the addition of a slow-release fertilizer at the top of the root ball once a year. This will help with continuous flowering. The Black Diamond series is pest, disease, and deer resistant, as well as drought-tolerant and mildew resistant.
These deciduous trees are perfect for lining a driveway or fence. Grow across the United States in USDA growing zones 6-9.

United StatesExcellent products and services
Before placing PO for expensive diamond crape myrtle, I was a little nervous to order live plants on line. I worried about quality of plants, the way of shipping and services. It turned out as an excellent experience. The plants are absolutely top quality. The packing is so thoughtful. One of them bloomed on my wife’s birthday. We are so happy with the purchase.

My plants were well packaged and were delivered very quickly. There was no damage to the plants from shipping, and they were packed so we didn't have to plant them immediately. Very impressed.
