The Delta Eclipse Crape Myrtle is a stunning small ornamental blooming tree known for its vibrant and long-lasting blooms. This Crape Myrtle, scientifically known as Crapemyrtle Lagerstroemia indica 'Deleb', produces an abundance of dark burgundy purple-black foliage that provides a striking contrast to its rich, lavender-purple flowers. Blooming from summer into fall, Delta Eclipse adds a splash of color and elegance to any landscape. Its upright, multi-stemmed form and exfoliating bark enhance its year-round appeal. Hardy and low-maintenance, this variety thrives in a variety of soil types and conditions, making it a versatile choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. When planting this Crape Myrtle, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2 inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil. Use a slow-release granular fertilizer in Spring. This plant will ship dormant in winter and is not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival.
