Why Black Diamond® Radiant Red Crape Myrtles?
The Radiant Red Crape Myrtle is well-named, with vivid blooms that are hard to miss in any landscape. Effortless and elegant, this adaptable shrub is well-suited for gracing entryways, lining sidewalks, or delivering vibrancy as a flower bed focal point.
Crimson blossoms sweep across the Crape's large black foliage like gemstones. This Black Diamond Crape Myrtle is equal parts vigorous and sophisticated, delivering unmatched color while thriving in tough conditions like drought and heat.
Vibrant red blooms welcome early summer and last until fall's first frost. Whether it's kept in a container or placed along pathways in your garden, the Radiant Red shines.

Getting ready to bloom
The little tree arrived in perfect condition. We planted it right away. We’re looking forward to this little tree growing and blooming next to our driveway.
Lovely Tree
My tree arrived in perfect condition and within the advertised size range. We are in a rural area of central Florida and FedEx deliveries don’t reach us until mid afternoon. Despite hours in a truck on a hot day the tree looked fresh and healthy when I unpacked it. The package is designed to hold the tree steady and there are instructions on the box to keep it in a certain position- which I think FedEx actually followed! For comparison I had ordered the same tree from a big box store and it arrived half dead and crushed to half the advertised size. No doubt, my future trees and shrubs will be purchased from Fast Growing Trees!
Black Diamond crepe myrtle
The shipment arrived in very poor condition. The tops were bent and the whole plants were dry. Since I bought four at one hundred dollars each, it was disappointing. But they have all come around and are looking great!
Great bush/tree
Excellent; Pkg was outstanding. We planted in the heat of summer at 104 degrees and have had days up to 107 here just to the West of Fort Worth, TX but all of our trees have survived with us diligently watering multiple times each day. One tree drooped for a few days, lost it's leaves and we thought it was a gonner but no! Brand new growth all over it a few days later (was just in shock). The color of the leaves on this plant is great to break up the standard green leaves of other trees. Really stands out next to some Witchita Blue Junipers!
Black Diamond
It was almost dead when it arrived but we love, water & nurturing it has come around beautifully.
