Review: Beautiful crepes! - It was late in the season when I ordered these but, being in Florida, I figured they'd get a start before our growing season ended. I'm glad I took the gamble. These little plants have already taken hold and while they're not growing much (which I wouldn't expect in mid-November), they are obviously healthy and happy in spite of a rather serious current drought here. I am sure they'll hit the ground running next spring and I look forward to seeing some pretty purple blooms. Bonus: I've had my eye on these plants for awhile at the nursery website and was very pleased to see them available through desertcart Prime, so no shipping charge!! June 18 2017 UPDATE: The plants are still healthy and growing well but they are now blooming for the first time and they are definitely NOT dark purple, which is very disappointing. I would describe them as fuchsia or perhaps magenta but they are no where near the dark purple described in the listing and accompanying photo. I've attached photos of my plants taken within the past few weeks. One photo is of them just beginning to bloom and the other is of them in full bloom. You can see the color discrepancy clearly in these photos. To date four out of the six are blooming and every one of them is the same color. They are pretty but not what I had in mind when I ordered dark purple! Review: Tiny but thriving - For the cost the plants were tiny but healthy. I planted as instructed and they did grow some. They are maybe 12" tall now. All crapes are going dormant for the winter and I didn't purchase in time to get blooms this year. I sure hope they are big enough to keep through the winter and come back in late spring. I will try to cover if we get a freeze. Next trick will be keeping the deer away from them. I like that this company has the smaller sizes and the selection of colors. If these make it I will be purchasing more from them next year. Edit 2024 only 3 are still alive, I'm guessing their very small size makes them more delicate. All were in the same bed accoss the front of the house, western exposure. ## Features - Unusually Black-Violet flowers makes this Crape Myrtle so striking, and one of our most popular - Great in borders, pots, as a small shrub or a magnificent specimen plant - Prolific, early bloomer - Shps 1'-1.5' healthy and well rooted in pots with soil - Proudly grown in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GGIE6DQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #698,183 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #20,303 in Flower Plants & Seeds | | Brand | The Crape Myrtle Company | | Color | Darkest Purple | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (87) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 1.19 | | Manufacturer | The Crape Myrtle Company | | Moisture Needs | Moderate Watering | | Number of Pieces | 5 | | Special Feature | Perennial | | Sunlight Exposure | Full Sun | | USDA Hardiness Zone | 5 | | Unit Count | 5 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** The Crape Myrtle Company - **Color:** Darkest Purple - **Moisture Needs:** Moderate Watering - **Number of Pieces:** 5 - **Special Feature:** Perennial - **Sunlight Exposure:** Full Sun - **USDA Hardiness Zone:** 5 - **Unit Count:** 5 Count ## Images ![Purple Velvet Miniature Crape Myrtle, Pack of 5, Darkest Purple Flower Available, Matures 4'-5' (1'-1.5' When Shipped, Well Rooted with Pots in Soil) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710+h7foFWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful crepes! *by F***R on November 14, 2016* It was late in the season when I ordered these but, being in Florida, I figured they'd get a start before our growing season ended.

Very healthy AND there was an extra one! It’s getting dry and hot here (FL) so we got them in the ground right away, watered well. All are doing wonderfully. I’m really excited to see the blooms. I’ll come back with pics to review the color 🩷 Our neighbor had some of these I always coveted them, couldn’t find at any local retail nurseries. I was hesitant to order plants online. Would highly recommend these folks. ## Frequently Bought Together - Purple Velvet Miniature Crape Myrtle, Pack of 5, Darkest Purple Flower Available, Matures 4'-5' (1'-1.5' When Shipped, Well Rooted with Pots in Soil) - Carl Pool Crepe Myrtle Plant Food 24oz 8-55-7 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/95547800-purple-velvet-miniature-crape-myrtle-pack-of-5-darkest-purple](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/95547800-purple-velvet-miniature-crape-myrtle-pack-of-5-darkest-purple) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
