Common Name:
Plum Magic Crepe Myrtle
Description:
Lagerstroemia ‘Plum Magic’ is a compact deciduous crepe myrtle celebrated for its vibrant plum-purple new foliage and masses of rich pink flowers throughout the warmer months. Part of the Magic series, this variety combines colourful foliage with excellent flowering performance, making it a standout feature in smaller gardens, borders, and decorative pots. New growth emerges deep burgundy-purple in spring before maturing to dark green with purple tones, providing strong colour contrast against the vivid flower clusters produced from summer into autumn. ‘Plum Magic’ thrives in Melbourne’s climate, performing best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is highly heat tolerant, relatively drought hardy once established, and responds well to light pruning to maintain shape and encourage repeat flowering. Its naturally compact growth habit makes it ideal for low-maintenance landscapes, contemporary gardens, and urban planting schemes.
