Dormancy Notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow.

Twilight Myrtle Midnight Magic™ (Lagerstroemia 'PIILAG-VIII') produces superb coral-pink-colored flowers and offers loads of dark purple-burgundy foliage all summer. This plant is not shy when it comes to height and width. It can grow over 16 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide.

Due to its height and showstopping colors, this plant goes best as a specimen plant or for foundation planting. When living in mild winter areas, Crape Myrtles can also be very effective as a screen or informal hedge.

Crape myrtles bloom on new wood and should always be pruned in winter or early spring. A full sun lover, this tree will grow easily in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Like other Magic Crape Myrtles, Twilight Magic is extremely resistant to powdery mildew and leaf spot.
