This Crape Myrtle is an upright tall shrub or small tree which grows to 25' tall and 12' wide. It has interesting mottled bark, blooms with clear pink flowers in the summer; and leaves turn orange 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.

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.
