Coral Pink Blooms + Black Foliage for Unique Contrast
Why Black Diamond® Shell Pink™ Crape Myrtle Shrubs?
A one-of-a-kind spin on the classic Crape, the Black Diamond® Shell Pink™ Crape Myrtle Shrub delivers a rich contrast of black foliage and thousands of bright pink blooms that are second to none.
Imagine vibrant pink blooms and dramatic black foliage from early summer until the first frost. With the Black Diamond® Shell Pink™, it's a given. And it's no wonder why your neighbors will marvel at this unique variety, especially since it's a new exclusive that's impossible to find at most nurseries.
And since it’s drought-tolerant, highly resistant to mildew that causes similar varieties to fade, and extremely cold hardy down to 0 degrees, it’s better than your common Crape.

If you're searching for vivid Crape color but don't have enough space for large trees, the Black Diamond® Shrub fits the bill...literally. And no matter where you plant it, it grows above and beyond, giving you big bursts of color and blooms in the smallest garden spaces.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Well-drained soil and a fun sun location are ideal for your Crape Myrtle. Simply select an area that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Once you’ve selected a location, dig a hole that’s about two times the size of your plant’s root ball. Place your tree, backfill the soil, and tamp down to finish. Water after planting your Crape to settle its roots.
2. Watering: Water your Crape Myrtle thoroughly every other day for the first month. After that, scale back to once every week or week and a half.
If you’re not sure when to water your plant, simply check its soil. If its surrounding soil near your Crape is dry, down to about 2 or 3 inches, it’s time to water.
3. Fertilizing: Feed your Crape with a well-balanced fertilizer once each year, just as new growth emerges.
4. Pruning: Prune your Crape Myrtle during late winter or early spring to achieve your desired height and shape but do so carefully – no need to cut off all its branches!
