Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Crepe Myrtle - Lagerstroemia 'Ruffled Red Magic'
Few flowering trees deliver the visual intensity of Lagerstroemia 'Ruffled Red Magic' at full bloom. Vivid ruffled red flowers carried across a well-structured canopy, combined with ornamental bark and a long season of colour, make this a serious specimen for prestige landscapes and statement plantings.
Why Ruffled Red Magic Crepe Myrtle
Intense summer flowering: Richly coloured, ruffled red blooms sustained from early summer through to early autumn.
Extended display: One of the longest flowering windows of any deciduous ornamental tree in its class.
Disease-resistant selection: Bred for strong resistance to powdery mildew, maintaining clean foliage through the season.
Year-round presence: Smooth, exfoliating bark and a refined branching structure provide architectural interest well beyond the flowering period.
Reliable in heat: Performs consistently across hot and warm-temperate Australian climates without compromise.
Ideal Applications
Specimen planting: A commanding focal point on open lawns or within structured landscape compositions.
Avenue and boulevard planting: Uniform form and reliable flowering make it well suited to formal repetitive planting schemes.
Courtyard and terrace settings: Scale and seasonal drama appropriate for enclosed or designed outdoor spaces on premium residential projects.
Mixed canopy layers: Effective as a mid-storey flowering tree within layered planting designs on commercial or residential landscapes.
