    Crape Myrtles are a popular tree because they grow very quickly and flower starting in their first year. They are one of the only trees that produces flowers in August and so are very useful for maintaining gardens with flowers year-round. As the trees age the bark becomes more and more attractive as the outer layer becomes porcelain-smooth. Trees will thrive in high heat climates such as the southwestern states but also handle cold winters. Flowers are produced on new growth so winter damage from extreme cold and storms will not prevent the tree from flowering heavily that same season.
    Trees grow best in well drained soil in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Although trees will grow in deeper shade they will flower less aggressively.

    One of our favorite crape myrtle's for Portland. Reliable, dark lavender mid-summer flowers and vibrant orange-yellow fall color on a 16' shrub, somewhat rounded in age. Try as a small street tree. Full sun, good drainage, and some summer water for best blooms. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
