Lagerstoremia 'Ebony Embers'

Red Flowering and Red Foliage Crepe Myrtle

Zones 7-10

’Ebony Embers’ is a excellent red diamond-like flowering crepe myrtle with black red leaves for hot climates. The blooms on ‘Ebony Embers’ are a dark red when they first open in late spring, maturing to a lighter red. ‘Ebony Embers’ keeps blooming until the first frost in the fall. ‘Ebony Embers’ may reach 10-12 ft in height in 10 years. ‘Ebony Embers’ has bark that becomes exfoliating and peeling with age, which is quite attractive. ‘Ebony Embers’ was bred and introduced through a joint breeding program with Mississippi State University and the USDA. It has also been marketed under other trademark names.
