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.
Why Trees.com is Better
Local garden centers and big-box retailers rarely stock this unique variety, and if they do, the plants offered are typically bare-root.
But when you order from Trees.com, you get a Black Diamond Crape Myrtle that's grown and nurtured with meticulous care, ready to thrive in your landscape and burst with virtually carefree color.
Fill your garden with the eye-catching red blooms that are second to none. Order your Black Diamond Radiant Red Crape Myrtle today - before it's gone!

Beautiful and healthy
I had a great first purchase with Fast Growing Trees ! I ordered multiple crape myrtles, and they all arrived packaged securely and within the time frame they stated. You can tell they really nurture the trees. I could see the fertilizer granules in the dirt within the pots, and the leaves and blooms looked healthy ! I watered them in the plastic pots for over a month during the very hot Texas heat. I planted them just yesterday since it’s starting to get cooler and cannot wait to watch them grow up !
