All across the South, their visible love affair with crepe myrtles is very evident. Few trees can match the combination of spectacular, showy summer flowers, colorful autumn foliage and attractive sculptural trunks as the crepe myrtle. They range in size from dwarf selections that grow less than 3 feet tall to several that reach upwards of 30 feet. Know the mature height of a plant before you buy it and plant the proper size for the site. Crepe Myrtles are available in white, lilac, purple and a variety of shades of pink and red.
Crepe myrtles have many landscaping uses. Planted together, they make a large hedge or screen. A single tree can create a distinctive focal point, while a pair framing a front door greets visitors with a warm welcome. Be sure to choose the right size for your needs. Medium-size selections that will grow from 12 to 15 feet are perfect for a small courtyard or garden home. The dwarf selections look great in large containers, foundation plantings, and even incorporated into perennial beds. Also, remember that crepe myrtles love sun. The amount of flower production is greatly reduced in light shade, and full shade can prevent blooming altogether.
