Introducing the Obsidian Cookies and Cream™ Crape Myrtle, another Exclusive Creation from Southern Charm Crape Myrtle. Designed for those who seek a unique blend of vibrant color and exceptional hardiness, this stunning variety is part of our Obsidian™ line, known for its distinctive dark purple-black leaves that set the stage for its crisp white flowers. Obsidian Cookies and Cream™ matures to a height of 12-15ft and spreading just as wide, this crape myrtle naturally grows bushy but can easily be pruned into a small tree with a graceful canopy.
The contrast between the white blooms and the dark foliage on Obsidian Cookies and Cream™ is simply breathtaking, making this tree a focal point in any landscape. Obsidian Cookies and Cream™ has dark brown, red, and beige exfoliating bark adds another layer of interest, especially in the fall when the foliage transitions into shades of orange, dark red, and purple. The new spring growth of Obsidian Cookies and Cream™ can display shades of green and red, but as the leaves mature, they turn an almost pure black, enhancing the dramatic appearance of the tree.
