WHY: With many so many colors and cultivars to choose from,
selecting the right crape myrtle for your space is the most
important consideration. Crape myrtles varieties are available
from dwarf shrubs to large upright or spreading trees and its
long blooming period rewards us with its showy flowers for
months. Pruning the spent flower buds can produce another
bloom in the fall. Many types have bark that exfoliates to
expose a beautifully colored inner bark for winter interest. Did
you say you wanted some great summer color for your garden?
The session will also touch on those plants that will last in the
summer heat and still bring lots of brilliant color to the
landscape.
