Description

This Crape Myrtle hybrid is a popular tree which grows to 25'-30' tall and 12' wide. It blooms with lavender flowers in the summer; leaves turn red in fall. It is mildew-resistant and does well in areas with hot summers. Crape Myrtles bloom on new wood so prune in winter/early spring to increase flowering. - Carolyn Shaffer Dudek and Associates

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
