I’m obsessed with Crepe Myrtles!

[@drinny26]

The honey bees love them!

[@estiiim]

In 2012, we had a drought one summer here in the south. We had a crape myrtle that was more reddish-violet, sorta plum colored. It stayed alive the whole year! I was very young so they bring back fond memories of playing outside in the heat with my little sister 💙

[@rosauramartinez2303]

I just love your enthusiasm!

[@katjones4840]

That thing is wild pretty 😮

[@drinny26]

I have a muskogee. Any tips on fertilizing it? The flowers are pale purple.

[@karticch.bairagi2127]

So beautiful flower I like this

[@joanne1468]

This is the only person who has ever mentioned fall color of leaves. I thought mine was dying.

[@msruag]

here we have a specimen who i doubt has seen a tree during autumn

[@ericscottstevens]

I think reds are the most vibrant and largest bounty of clustered blooms. I do not have one but they are striking when they get going.
I prefer Muskogee lavender which is my favorite, hearty and love to be taken care of and will reward you with numerous seedlings.
My whites are miniatures but still they get tall (15+ feet) but it has taken 20 years for them to reach that height.
The Crepes are the most dynamic species of bloomers hands down.

Crape Myrtles with Indian names have the most interesting seasonal bark changes and are the most disease resistant.

[@Sindri27]

What is the name of the really dark one at 1:39?

[@umarrashid6513]

Can they survive in areas with snowing winter

[@kaylynn3583]

why do some have pointy leaves and others have rounder leaves, also is it true if you plant other colors among eachother they all become one color.

[@cicibradley2809]

[@ap9384]

Hello, what is the name of the variety at 1:40 into this video? You've labeled it as Purple Flowering Crape Myrtle, but what is the variety name? I really love that shade of purple. Thanks

[@gulzeb]

Look at Catawba. That's the darkest purple.

[@Drummertist]

Can I make a Tuscarora Crape Myrtle a single trunk tree?

[@Naturehills]

You bet you can! See more info and a good example photo on our Crape Myrtle web page: www.naturehills.com/trees/tree-varieties/crape-myrtle Thanks, and enjoy your project! You'll be very proud of your tree.

[@aliflora7778]

[@Protactiny]

Lovely!!! Reading Isaiah 41:19 hihi

[@shahfaysal8970]

i have red color black diamond in a pot can we place it indoor ?please reply

[@Naturehills]

If you want to try to overwinter it, bring it into an unheated garage or shed. Water once a month and place it outside once the weather warms up again. It will not be a houseplant, it needs dormant period during wintertime. Thanks!

[@treypitchford8172]

How many colors are they

[@Naturehills]

They run the gamut from purple to red, pink, coral, lavender, pale pink and white. The foliage can be as deep purple called black. Check out our current inventory here www.naturehills.com/trees/tree-varieties/crape-myrtle
