Whether you spell it Crepe Myrtle or as one-word Crapemyrtle, all you need to keep your Crape Myrtles happy is a sunny location and good drainage and you'll have a picture-worthy garden in no time! Crape Myrtles need regular water until they are established, but then they can become drought-tolerant after that! Topdress the soil with a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch to hold in moisture and enrich the soil.
To do this, cut back the branches by one-third in early spring, removing weaker branches, or cutting them back by two-thirds to stimulate stronger growth. STEP 2 Once you ve located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.

Sunset Magic Crape Myrtle
The Sunset Magic™ Crape Myrtle is a marvelous new variety of purple-leaf shrub that also carries rich red blooms for many months of the year. Colored foliage is always loved in the garden, and purple is the most popular color, because it really stands out and contrasts well with other colors, such as golden leaves. This plant has very persistent coloring, holding its deep-purple color all through summer, right up to leaf-drop. It is as good as or superior to other purple-leaf shrubs, and many of those older plants flower for just a few days, and they may have disease problems too. This vigorous plant blooms from June to September, and it is free of the diseases that cause unattractive foliage and leaf drop in older types of crape myrtle. It grows between 5 and 10 feet tall, but stays only around 6 feet wide, so it fits perfectly into the smaller gardens so many of us have today.
- Rich black-purple foliage all season, for dramatic color
- Rich red flower clusters continuously from summer to fall
- Grows easily in any sunny spot, and resists drought
- Specially bred to resist the leaf disease that mar older crape myrtles
- A top-quality shrub for both foliage and flower color
Plant the Sunset Magic Crape Myrtle in a sunny location, so that it flowers prolifically and keeps the richest possible leaf coloring. It will grow rapidly and without any problems in any well-drained soil, growing well even in poor sand and gravel soils. If you have a hot, sunny spot in your garden, this shrub will thrive. It is fast-growing too, so very soon you will have a full-sized plant, bringing vibrant leaf color from spring to fall, and powerful red flowers all summer and fall too. Diseases and pests won’t bother it, and the all-season interest will really bring your garden to life.
Shrubs with colored foliage are always popular, but never more than today. This is because they give months of color in the garden for very little work, so rather than growing flowering plants that take lots of care, or shrubs that flower for just a week or two each year, they are all you need for a colorful garden. Modern gardeners love to mix and match shrubs with different leaf colors, and no colors are more popular than rich deep reds and purples – the deeper, richer and more persistent the better. There are other shrubs that have this coloring, such as the Purple Leaf Plum, but no other purple-leaf shrub has the beautiful flowers, long bloom period, and trouble-free habits of the Sunset Magic Crape Myrtle.
The Sunset Magic Crape Myrtle is an upright shrub, reaching 5 to 10 feet in height, depending on where you grow it and how you prune it. It has a relatively narrow form for a Crape Myrtle, growing only 4 to 8 feet wide, so it is ideal for a smaller garden, or for mixing among other shrubs. From the very beginning of the spring growth this deciduous shrub produces vigorous, glossy foliage that is a rich, deep black-purple color. This coloring persists throughout the season, all the way into fall, so unlike other purple-leaf shrubs that fade to murky purple-greens as summer progresses, this shrub stays rich and colorful until the leaves eventually fall.
But this is not all; once June arrives, or a little later in the northern limits of zone 7, blooms begin to appear. Every branch ends in a large cluster of flowers, 4 ½ inches long and a plump 4 inches across, packed with many flowers. The flowers are a rich red – an almost perfect ‘true’ red – which contrasts with the purple foliage to create a vibrant, majestic effect you will love. Each flower cluster lasts about 10 days, but new ones are constantly being produced, and your shrub will still be blooming away in September, only stopping when the colder weather arrives. To keep your Sunset Magic Crape Myrtle blooming to the max, remove spent flower heads by cutting back just above the first full-sized leaves. Towards the end of the season, if you stop removing spent flowers you will be rewarded with attractive seed pods, that add interest in winter after the leaves have fallen.
It includes a wider range of clay colors and additional tools for more intricate detailing. With this set, you'll be able to create more complex and realistic sculptures with ease. Another exciting addition to our magic clay range is the **Magic Clay Air Dry Kit**. This innovative kit allows you to skip the baking or curing process typically required with magic clay. Simply sculpt and shape your creation, let it air dry, and it will harden on its own. This makes it even more convenient and accessible for artists and crafters of all skill levels. Lastly, we have the **Magic Clay Accessories Pack**. This pack includes a variety of accessories that will enhance your magic clay creations. From molds and cutters to texture tools and glitter, this pack provides endless possibilities for adding unique and eye-catching elements to your projects. We are confident that these new arrivals will bring joy and inspiration to your magic clay journey. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, our magic clay products are designed to help you unleash your creativity and bring your ideas to life.

Reviews for "Unleash your inner artist with our latest magic clay options"
1. Sarah - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Magic clay new arrivals. The clay was really hard to work with and didn't have the same smooth texture as other modeling clays. It also dried out really quickly, even when I followed all the instructions. Overall, it was a frustrating experience and I would not recommend it.
2. Mark - 2 stars - I've tried several different brands of clay before and I have to say that Magic clay new arrivals was not my favorite. The colors were dull and muted, making it difficult to create vibrant and eye-catching designs. The clay also had a strange smell that was not pleasant. I ended up throwing it away halfway through my project and switched to a different brand.
3. Emily - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic clay new arrivals, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The clay was too sticky and messy to work with, and it left a residue on my hands that was difficult to wash off. Additionally, the colors in the set were not very pigmented and looked faded after drying. I would not purchase this clay again.
4. David - 1 star - I found the Magic clay new arrivals to be of very poor quality. The clay was extremely soft and difficult to mold without it losing its shape. It also had a strange greasy texture that made it unpleasant to touch. The colors in the set were also limited and not very vibrant. Overall, I was very disappointed with this product and wouldn't recommend it to others.
5. Jessica - 2 stars - I had hoped that the Magic clay new arrivals would be a great addition to my craft supplies, but it fell short. The clay was hard to work with, even after warming it up in my hands. It had a strange chemical smell that lingered even after baking, and the finished products looked dull and lackluster. I won't be repurchasing this brand of clay.
