| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia indica 'Ebony Flame' |
| Description | A stunning selection featuring near-black foliage that provides a high-contrast backdrop for its vibrant red flowers. It is highly resistant to Houston's humidity and powdery mildew. While it is adaptable to various soil conditions, it must have a well-drained location; it will not tolerate heavy, saturated clay that holds water for extended periods. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for the deepest black foliage and maximum blooming) |
| Height x Width | 10-12' Height x 8' Width |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is very drought tolerant. Deep soak during our dry, triple-digit summer weeks. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins to emerge. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter for shape and health. Remove cross-branches to maintain its natural form. Avoid "Crape Murder." |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
