Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Crape Myrtle - Black Diamond® Lavender Lace is simple, allowing you to enjoy its stunning blooms and deep-hued foliage with minimal effort.

Planting

Select the Right Location: Choose a sunny location, as the Crape Myrtle - Black Diamond® Lavender Lace thrives in full sun. Ample sunlight is essential for producing abundant lavender blooms and maintaining healthy growth.

Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and slightly acidic to neutral in pH. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and aeration.

Dig a Proper Hole: Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and approximately the same depth. This allows the roots to spread freely and establish a strong foundation.

Plant the Tree: Carefully remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots before placing it in the hole. Position the root ball so that the top is level with the surrounding ground, then backfill with native soil. Lightly pack the soil to remove air pockets.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, give the tree a deep soak to help settle the soil and ensure the roots receive adequate moisture.

Care

Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. This helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Regular Watering: Water regularly until the tree is well-established. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry periods.

Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak branches and encourage a strong structure. This will help the tree maintain its shape and enhance flowering potential.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer once a year in early spring as new growth emerges to promote healthy development and abundant blooms. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it may encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

The Crape Myrtle - Black Diamond® Lavender Lace is a captivating addition to any garden, offering a stunning contrast between its soft lavender blooms and deep black foliage. Whether planted as a focal point, a blooming hedge, or in a decorative container, this low-maintenance tree brings year-round beauty with minimal effort.
