Following the release of the first hybrid selections Muskogee and Natchez in 1978, twenty-one hybrid cultivars would be selected, named, and introduced over the next twenty-five years. Some gardeners like to lop off all stems at a uniform height each year, leaving branch stubs in the winter that flush out into a ball of growth in the spring.
The tree's foliage is one of its most attractive features, with leaves that emerge in spring with a deep maroon color that matures to a rich, dark purple as the season progresses. In addition to its beautiful foliage, the midnight magic crape myrtle produces clusters of vibrant pink flowers during the summer months.

Reviews for "Create a Magical Landscape with Crape Myrtle Midnight Magic"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Crape myrtle midnight magic. I had heard so many great things about it, but when I received my plant, it was much smaller than expected and didn't have the vibrant purple leaves that were advertised. It also took a long time for the plant to start growing, and even then, it never reached the height that was promised. Overall, I found it to be a lot of hype for a lackluster plant.
2. John - 3/5 - While the Crape myrtle midnight magic had decent growth and a decent amount of flowers, I wasn't impressed with its overall performance. The flowers were not as showy as I had hoped, and the foliage didn't have the same deep, rich color as advertised. Additionally, the plant required a lot of pruning to maintain its shape and didn't seem as low maintenance as claimed. Overall, I expected more from this plant and wouldn't recommend it to others.
3. Emily - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Crape myrtle midnight magic, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The plant struggled to thrive in my garden, with many of the leaves turning brown and falling off. The flowers were also underwhelming, with a pale pink color rather than the deep purple that was advertised. I tried different gardening techniques to improve its health, but nothing seemed to work. I'm disappointed with this purchase and would not buy it again.
