Lagerstroemia ‘Plum Magic’ (Crape Myrtle)
Lagerstroemia ‘Plum Magic’ (Crape Myrtle) is an upright, rounded, deciduous shrub or small tree with abundant clusters of fuchsia-pink flowers at its branch tips in early summer. It will bloom again in late summer if the first flush of flowers are deadheaded. Emerging plum-purple, the foliage matures to rich dark green as the season progresses, nicely setting off the bright flowers. This crape myrtle is highly resistant to leaf spot and powdery mildew. It makes a great specimen plant, thanks to the beauty of its blooms and foliage.
- Grows up to 12-14 ft. tall (360-420 cm) and 8-10 ft. wide (240-300 cm).
- A full sun lover, this plant is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drainedsoils. Drought and heat tolerant. Water regularly until established. To help crape myrtles retain water, mulch with organic matter 2-3 in. deep (5-7 cm).
- Good disease and pest resistance. Crape myrtles are not usually browsed by deer.
- Perfect as a specimen plant or for foundation plantings.
- During the growing season, clip off spent flowers to promote a second, lighter bloom.
- Crape myrtles bloom on new wood and should be pruned in winter or early spring. Remove dead branches any time.

1. John - 2/5 stars - I really wanted to like "The Bone Witch Chronicles," but it fell short for me. The story felt convoluted and dragged on in certain parts. The world-building was interesting, but the characters lacked depth and failed to engage me. The writing style was also a bit too descriptive for my taste, veering towards excessive and tedious descriptions that added little to the plot. Overall, while the concept had potential, the execution left much to be desired.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I found "The Bone Witch Chronicles" to be a disappointment. The pacing was incredibly slow, making it difficult to stay engaged. The alternating timelines seemed disjointed and confusing, and the character development was lacking. The protagonist, Tea, came across as flat and unrelatable, and I struggled to connect with any of the other characters as well. The overall plot lacked direction and failed to offer any satisfying resolutions. Unfortunately, this series did not live up to the hype for me.
3. Michael - 1/5 stars - I couldn't even finish "The Bone Witch Chronicles." The storyline was confusing and poorly developed. It felt like the author was trying too hard to be unique and ended up sacrificing coherence. The protagonist's motives were unclear, and the world-building lacked depth. Additionally, the constant switches between different time frames were jarring and disrupted any chance of building momentum. I found myself skimming through the pages rather than being invested in the story. Overall, this series was a major disappointment.
4. Emily - 3/5 stars - While "The Bone Witch Chronicles" had some interesting ideas, I found myself struggling to connect with the characters and the overall story. The pacing was slow and the plot felt repetitive at times. The writing style was also a bit too flowery for my taste, sometimes coming across as pretentious. However, the world-building was intricate and imaginative, and when the story did pick up, it showed moments of promise. It just didn't fully captivate me, and I was left feeling somewhat underwhelmed by the end.
5. Mark - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "The Bone Witch Chronicles," but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. The story felt disjointed and lacked a clear direction. The characters were forgettable and lacked depth and complexity. The writing style was overly descriptive, often bogging down the narrative. While there were glimpses of interesting concepts and world-building, they were overshadowed by the overall sluggish pace and lackluster execution. In the end, I was left feeling unsatisfied and unimpressed.
