The Ruffled Red Magic Crape Myrtle is a showstopper that brings a touch of Mediterranean elegance to your backyard. If you are looking for an intense splash of ruby-red color, this shrub is a must-have for zones 7 and 8. Growing into a rounded 6 to 12 feet tall, it functions beautifully as a privacy screen or a dramatic focal point.

To achieve those iconic “ruffled” blooms, give this plant plenty of full sun; it thrives in the heat and is exceptionally resistant to pests and foraging deer. When you dig your hole, remember to blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil. This creates the perfect airy environment for roots to establish. For consistent growth and vibrant flowers, I recommend feeding with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food during the growing season. This balanced nutrition ensures your crape myrtle stays healthy and strong for years to come.
