| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia indica 'Ebony and Ivory' |
| Description | A sophisticated selection featuring coal-black foliage that remains dark throughout the Houston summer. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and thrives in our humidity. While it is adaptable to many Texas soils, it requires a well-drained site; it will struggle in heavy, saturated clay that holds standing water after heavy rain. |
| 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. Deep soak during peak summer heat waves. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new leaves emerge. |
| Pruning | Minimal; prune in late winter to remove cross-branches or to shape. Avoid "topping" to maintain the natural tree form. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
