Talk about red AND ruffled! This new crape myrtle has distinctly different carnation-like glowing red flowers that show beautifully against the lustrous dark green foliage. The habit is upright but compact with dense branching. Like the others in the Magic series Ruffled Red™ re-blooms in late summer if the first flush of flowers is deadheaded. It is also resistant to leaf spot and powdery mildew which is quite a breeding accomplishment in red crapes. This crape myrtle is shipped in a #3 pot with an average height of 18-24 inches.
