Description
When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!
Ebony Glow is an exciting new Crape Myrtle hybrid that has the darkest black leaves we’ve seen on any Crape Myrtle, or any other shrub or tree for that matter! During summer and into fall, Ebony Glow is smothered with white to soft pink flowers that are a stunning contrast to the intense black leaves. The leaves maintain black color throughout the season. A fast growing, mid-size Crape Myrtle to 10-12 feet in height with a spread of about 6-8 feet at maturity – the perfect size flowering tree for today’s smaller gardens!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 10-12 feet tall depending on pruning, and 6-8 feet or so wide, Ebony Glow Crape Myrtle is an ideal selection for smaller garden spaces, and containers. It can be grown as a shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree, making it an excellent choice for use as a specimen or accent in sunny home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also makes a very colorful hedge and is spectacular in groupings. Whether planted as a specimen or in groupings, this is one plant that is sure to stand out in the landscape!
Spacing:Â Â 5′ for solid hedge; 10′ for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Ebony Glow Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.

Crepe myrtles are ubiquitous in South Mississippi and are a vital part of the lush landscape in most neighborhoods. The rich deep black/ green glossy leaves set off the delicate blush tinged blossoms in this subtle but delightful variation.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
