Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fast growing and vigorous crape myrtle, easily reaching 10-12' tall x 6-10' wide, and blooming earlier than some, starting in July with lavender-purple blossoms in large panicles. Autumn colors are bright orange-red as leaves begin to fall. And, as with many others, the gray bark exfoliates, leaving a patterned surface. Crape myrtles grow best in well-drained soil, not too rich, with some summer water for best flowers. Frost hardy to 0 °F , USDA zone 7.
