Comments: Mix peat moss, compost, or aged manure deeply into the soil. Very slow to show growth after planting or in spring. Mottled bark appears on older trees; bark shreds attractively on new canes. Autumn foliage is red to dark purple-red . Mature trees display interesting, mottled bark. Trees should flower the first year, but will produce heavier flowering during second or third season. Make excellent container grown trees. Pot may be sheltered outside or brought into an unheated area and kept just moist.

Very small
Reviewed By: Ann (Florence, KY)
This plant arrived several months after ordering it. I ordered in the spring and I got it at the end of October. I had hoped to put it in a container on my deck for the summer. It is only about 8" tall and very scrawny. Don't waste your money--buy something bigger from your local nursery.

compliment on plant
Reviewed By: sharon (omaha, nebraska)
My Crape Myrtle are doing great. They did come a little bit scrawny and I do agree about them taking a long time to arrive. I do say though that I order 2 plants and they are thriving and growing rapidly like advertised. I'm looking to forward to seeing the flowers on them and hope they make it through the winter okay. I can say that I'm not happy with how long it took for some of my stuff to come and it was almost dead but I'm very happy with my Myrtle.
