Crapemyrtle

  1. Home
  2. Crapemyrtle

Crapemyrtles, also commonly spelled crepe myrtle or crape myrtle, are among the most beloved ornamental trees in Southern landscapes. Known for their brilliant, long-lasting blooms, attractive bark, and graceful form, these beautiful trees offer both elegance and resilience, making them a staple in the Southern Living Plant Collection.

Exceptional Crapemyrtle Selections

Our curated collection of Southern Living crepe myrtles includes outstanding lagerstroemia hybrids, each carefully selected for its vibrant color, superior performance, and robust growth habits:

  • Miss Frances Crape Myrtle: Celebrated for its intense, deep red blooms that last from summer into fall, Miss Frances crape myrtle provides vibrant color and visual impact. Its compact form makes it suitable for smaller gardens, urban landscapes, or as an elegant focal point.
  • Miss Sandra Crape Myrtle: Featuring striking purple blooms that captivate attention throughout the summer months, Miss Sandra crape myrtle adds unique beauty to gardens. Its upright growth habit is ideal for creating dramatic garden accents or street-side plantings.
  • Delta Fuchsia Crape Myrtle: Known for its bright, vibrant fuchsia blooms and rich, dark green foliage, Delta Fuchsia Crape Myrtle provides exceptional color contrast and landscape interest. Its vigorous growth and resilience make it a superb choice for gardens across the South.

Beauty and Versatility of Crapemyrtle Trees

The versatility of crape myrtle trees makes them suitable for various landscape uses. Whether planted as standalone specimens, colorful screens, or street-side plantings, crapemyrtles provide stunning blooms, attractive bark, and vibrant foliage, adding multi-seasonal interest to your garden.

Crapemyrtles are admired not only for their showy flowers but also for their peeling bark, which reveals a beautiful, mottled appearance in winter, enhancing garden appeal year-round. Their graceful, multi-trunked form and vibrant autumn leaf colors further extend their landscape interest.

Easy Care for Lasting Beauty

Crape myrtle trees are renowned for their ease of care and adaptability to various soil types and conditions, flourishing in full sun to partial shade. These hardy trees tolerate drought once established, making them ideal for Southern climates. Pruning, typically done in late winter or early spring, helps maintain their beautiful shape and encourages prolific blooming.
