Yesterday I saw some Southern Living Collection- dwarf crepe myrtles at Lowes.
Burgundy colored leaves, light pink blossoms.
I believe the tag said 8 to 10 ft. tall- should require minimal pruning, if any.
They looked lovely and were healthy specimens, about 2-3 ft. tall.
Manageable for DYI.

Thanks, we'll take a trip to Lowes to check them out.
