Crape Myrtles are a cornerstone of summer beauty in Arizona, and 'Pink Slush' is a fantastic choice for dependable, long-lasting color! This gorgeous variety bursts forth with cascades of soft, clear pink blooms that shimmer in the sun, creating a stunning visual display from late spring through fall. 'Pink Slush' matures to a graceful size, typically around 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide, making it versatile enough for a specimen tree, a vibrant privacy screen, or an eye-catching anchor in your landscape. It truly revels in our full Arizona sun, thriving in the heat and offering excellent drought tolerance once established. Best of all, deer generally bypass Crape Myrtles so that you can enjoy their beauty without worry.
To give your 'Pink Slush' Crape Myrtle the best environment to flourish, begin by amending your soil with Watters Premium Mulch when planting. This specially formulated mulch helps retain essential moisture in our dry climate, keeping roots cool and happy, and slowly releases beneficial nutrients as it breaks down. For a continuous flush of those delightful pink blooms and robust growth throughout the season, feed your Crape Myrtle four times a year – on Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and New Year's – with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food. This unique local blend provides the perfect balance of nutrients to promote healthy foliage and abundant flowers, specifically tailored for our Arizona soils.
