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:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
