Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Purple Magic Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia 'Purple Magic')
Purple Magic Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia 'Purple Magic') is a self-pollinating plant, meaning that it does not require another plant to transfer pollen and produce fruit or seeds. However, cross-pollination with another crape myrtle cultivar can lead to increased fruit set and seed production.
The flowers of Purple Magic Crape Myrtle are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, which can help to increase pollination and fruit set. It is important to avoid using insecticides during the flowering period to protect these important pollinators.
In addition to natural pollination, Purple Magic Crape Myrtle can also be hand-pollinated to increase seed production or to produce hybrid plants. This can be done by removing the stamens from the flower and rubbing them onto the stigma, or by using a small paintbrush to transfer pollen from one flower to another.
