The Ebony Flame Crapemyrtle is a striking and versatile ornamental shrub that promises to set your landscape ablaze with dramatic beauty. This deciduous marvel is distinguished by its rich, deep maroon to ebony-hued foliage, providing a stunning backdrop to its vibrant crimson-red blossoms that burst forth in lavish clusters during the summer months.

The Ebony Flame Crapemyrtle boasts an upright and arching growth habit, reaching a mature height of 10 to 12 feet with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, making it an ideal choice for hedges, borders, or standalone focal points.

When choosing a location for your Crapemyrtle tree, be sure to consider its the crimson blooms and what will pair well with them! This tree is incredibly versatile in landscape design.

It's perfect as a solitary specimen as it is able to add just the right amount of elegance. Alternatively, planting it in groups can create a stunning border or privacy screen. It's also ideal along driveways or walkways, where its striking colors can be fully appreciated.

Ebony Flame Crapemyrtle Care

Ebony Flame is hardy in USDA zones 6-9, demonstrating resilience in a variety of climates. It can withstand moderate cold and heat, making it suitable for many gardens across a wide geographic range. It is capable of enduring temperatures ranging from -10° to 30° F.

This variety of Crape Myrtle thrives in almost any moist, yet well-drained soil. To ensure optimal blooming and robust growth, it needs a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to provide optimal opportunity for growth.

Watering and Pruning Ebony Flame

Regular watering is essential, especially during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant, but it's important to maintain a consistent watering schedule during prolonged dry periods.

As for pruning, it should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Light pruning to shape the tree can also be performed, but it's crucial to avoid heavy pruning, as this can lead to excessive growth of shoots and reduce flowering. The goal is to maintain the natural form of the tree while promoting healthy growth and abundant blooms.

Mulching and Fertilizing Ebony Flame Crapemyrtles

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the Crapemyrtle. Be sure to leave some space around the trunk to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rot or fungal diseases.

Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer that's formulated for flowering trees and shrubs. A formula with a higher phosphorus content can encourage better blooming. Apply fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount and frequency.

  1. Mulching helps retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. It also adds an aesthetic finish to the garden bed and contributes to the overall health of the Crapemyrtle.
  2. Use organic mulch like shredded bark, pine straw, or compost. These materials break down over time, adding nutrients to the soil.
  3. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the Crapemyrtle. Be sure to leave some space around the trunk to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rot or fungal diseases.
  4. Refresh the mulch layer annually or as needed, typically in the spring or fall.

*The Ebony Flame Crape myrtle is a deciduous/semi-evergreen plant that will go dormant during winter. Therefore, if you order this plant in the fall or winter, expect seasonal foliage decline (discoloration, spots, leaf drop) or the plant to arrive completely dormant.

Good seal and cute in photos
Color: Pop Rainbow Sweet Purple, Color: Pop Rainbow Sweet Purple
We had the prior version of these Speedo kids’ goggles and these ones are much better. First, they have the same great no catch string that comes on and off without pulling hair. But they also have a better seal around the eyes, and so after days of hotel pool and swim class swimming we haven’t had a leak yet. The new frames also look a lot more like really cute kids’ sunglasses, so they’re great for all-day hotel pool wear and look great in our holiday photos.

Comfortable and don't leak

These are my kids favorite swim goggles. The adjusting in the back helps them fit better and doesn't get tangled in his hair. This also don'ts leak like some other brands. Mom approved.

Cooler
Color: Clear Blue 4 PK, Size: 4 Pack
I absolutely love these Cool Coolers by Fit & Fresh! They are truly amazing and have made such a difference in keeping my food fresh. The slim XL design is perfect because it fits easily into my lunch bag or cooler without taking up too much space. What really impressed me is how quickly they freeze and how long they stay cold. They keep everything nicely chilled for hours, which is exactly what I need for busy days. Plus, they are reusable and very durable, so they’re a great eco-friendly option. The quality is excellent, and the performance is even better than I expected. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable and efficient ice packs!

Keep Everything Cold All Day!
Color: Multi (4 Pack), Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
These ice packs are absolutely perfect! The 4-pack gives me plenty of options to keep drinks, lunch, and snacks cold no matter where I go, whether it’s work, a picnic, or a day trip. They freeze quickly, stay cold for hours (I live in a really hot climate and they stay cold in my car all day), and fit perfectly in lunchboxes, coolers, or insulated bags without taking up too much space because they are pretty thin. The packs are very durable, completely leak-proof, and easy to clean, which makes them convenient for everyday use. I love that having four means I can always have a frozen one ready while the others are thawing. Overall, this set is reliable, long-lasting, and makes keeping food and drinks cold simple and stress-free — I would highly recommend them to anyone!
