Description
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.

Water Saving Tip:
Apply as little fertilizer as possible.
If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
