The combination of prolific dark rosy blooms and dark purple leaves make Shadow Magic™ Crapemyrtle a standout in any warm-climate landscape. While many dark leaf crapemyrtle are riddled with foliar issues, Shadow Magic™ is incredibly disease resistant, especially to powdery mildew, so the glossy dark leaves remain brilliant spring through fall. More compact than Twilight Magic™, this variety matures to 7-9' tall and 5-7' wide, creating a beautiful upright shrub or small tree.
