CRYSTALLINE CRAPE MYRTLE 2gal

Ready to brighten your landscape with brilliant white blooms? The Crystalline Crape Myrtle is an exceptional choice! This stunning deciduous shrub or small tree offers a prolonged season of pure white flowers that emerge from summer through fall, creating a breathtaking contrast against its unique, near-black foliage. This compact variety typically reaches a manageable size of 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, making it versatile for various garden uses, from a striking specimen plant to an elegant flowering hedge along a driveway or fence. Its tidy growth habit means less fuss for you, maintaining its beautiful shape naturally.

The Crystalline Crape Myrtle thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce its most abundant blooms and maintain that gorgeous dark foliage. It's wonderfully adaptable to a wide range of well-draining soils, and once established, it boasts excellent drought and heat tolerance, making it a perfect fit for our Arizona climate. Plus, you'll be pleased to know that like many crape myrtles, it exhibits good resistance to deer and powdery mildew, ensuring a healthy and vibrant display.

To give your Crystalline Crape Myrtle the best start, incorporate Watters Premium Mulch into the planting area. This rich, organic mulch will help retain crucial soil moisture, reduce weed competition, and slowly release nutrients as it breaks down, fostering strong root development. For ongoing health and spectacular blooms, feed your plant with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food on our recommended holiday schedule (Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and New Year's). This special blend is formulated for our local soils, providing the essential nutrients to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering all season.
