Crape Myrtle

The Crape Myrtle is a versatile deciduous tree or shrub known for its stunning, long-lasting blooms in shades of pink, red, white, and purple. Growing up to 15-30 feet in height, it is perfect for use as a landscape focal point, hedge, or specimen plant. This plant thrives in full sun and requires moderate watering, preferring well-draining soil. Crape Myrtles are drought-tolerant once established and bloom from late spring to early fall. Regular pruning in late winter or early spring helps maintain its shape and encourages abundant flowering. The Crape Myrtle adds year-round interest to any garden with its beautiful blooms, attractive bark, and vibrant fall foliage. Ideal for both residential and commercial landscapes, this plant offers beauty, resilience, and minimal maintenance.
