The Obsidian Sunrise™ Crape Myrtle, an exclusive creation from Southern Charm Crape Myrtles, dazzles with its bright morning, fuchsia pink flowers. These blooms, with a hint of purple, evoke the beauty of a tropical sunrise. Lighter in shade than Obsidian Sunset™, Obsidian Sunrise™ delivers a striking visual contrast, with its vibrant flowers standing out against dark purple-black leaves.
Designed for those who appreciate color and resilience, Obsidian Sunrise™ reaches a mature height and width of 12-15 feet, naturally growing bushy but easily pruned into a small tree with a graceful canopy. The exfoliating bark of Obsidian Sunrise™, in shades of dark brown, red, and beige, adds year-round interest, while the fall foliage brings a mix of deep oranges, reds, and purples, enhancing the tree's appeal through the seasons.
