Growing & Maintenance Tips for Lagerstroemia indica Black Diamond® Purely Purple™

Lagerstroemia indica Black Diamond® Purely Purple™ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, then reduce frequency once established. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage vigorous new growth and flowering. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
