Ideas for Use: Specifically bred for its compact and weeping style habit, Pavé Pink is a great crape myrtle for gardeners who do not have the space for a tall growing tree. If you love the black foliage and pretty flowers that crape myrtles provide but do not have the space in your garden, Pavé Pink is an excellent choice to add! Drought tolerant, low maintenance, highly resistant to mildew.

*Note- Black Diamond® Crapes need to be planted in full sun in order for the foliage to stay black. If they do not get full sunlight and are planted in partial shade, their foliage will be more green than black.*
