Notes
'Indian Magic' crabapple (Malus 'Indian Magic') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deep pink flowers open in spring and bring butterflies, bees, and birds. The bronze leaves turn orange and red in fall. It is self-fertile, so one tree can set fruit alone.
Pairs well with Great blue lobelia, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Pink Impression tulip.
