The BLACK SOLITAIRE® is a new series of crepe myrtles developed by J. Berry Nurseries (Texas) from the EBONY (USDA) varieties. Its brilliant black foliage, which adorns the plant from spring to autumn, and the large, curly, soft pink flowers from July to September make the Lagerstroemia indicaBlush" a real eye-catcher in your garden.
Plant the myrtle in a sunny, warm spot. There are only a few requirements for the soil, it should be well drained and not too moist. When old, the plant copes well with drought, so you will have a very low-maintenance plant. In spring, you should give the crape myrtle a heavy pruning so that it can sprout vigorously, and this also promotes a larger flower stand. The flowering period requires warm temperatures. The plant has an upright and fast growth and can reach a height of 3 - 4 metres and a width of about 2 - 3 metres. The Lagerstroemia indica is suitable as a solitary plant, as a colourful hedge or as a border plant on your terrace.
