| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia indica 'Purely Purple' |
| Description | A sophisticated variety featuring dramatic coal-black foliage and vibrant purple blooms. It is exceptionally well-suited to the Houston climate, exhibiting high resistance to powdery mildew. While it adapts to various soil types, it performs best in well-drained locations; it will struggle in heavy, saturated clay that remains waterlogged after our heavy rain events. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Crucial for the darkest foliage color and abundant flowering) |
| Height x Width | 10-12' Height x 8' Width |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is very drought tolerant. Ensure deep watering during peak Houston summer droughts. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous new growth. |
| Pruning | Minimal pruning required. Lightly prune in late winter to maintain shape or remove spent flower clusters. Avoid heavy "topping." |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
