Crape Myrtles - Assorted

The Crape Myrtle tree, also known as Lagerstroemia, is a popular ornamental tree cherished for its vibrant and long-lasting blooms. Native to Asia, this deciduous tree is a staple in many Southern U.S. landscapes due to its heat and drought tolerance.

Crape Myrtles are renowned for their showy summer flowers that come in a variety of colors, including pink, purple, red, and white. The blooms are crinkled, resembling crepe paper, hence the name. These trees can bloom for up to 120 days, providing a splash of color when many other plants are not in season.

Beyond their beautiful flowers, Crape Myrtles have a unique, exfoliating bark that peels away to reveal a smooth and colorful trunk underneath. This feature adds winter interest to the landscape when the tree is leafless.

Crape Myrtles range in size from small shrubs to large trees, reaching heights of up to 30 feet. They are versatile and can be used in various landscape applications, including as specimen trees, in borders, or as privacy screens.

Caring for a Crape Myrtle involves regular watering, especially during dry periods, and pruning in late winter to promote a more abundant bloom in summer. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil.

In summary, the Crape Myrtle is a stunning, low-maintenance tree that offers year-round interest, making it a valuable addition to any garden.

    Plant care

    Caring for a Crape Myrtle tree involves several steps to ensure its health and longevity:

    1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Crape Myrtles thrive in heat and can tolerate drought, but they do best when they get at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.

    2. Watering: Water newly planted Crape Myrtles thoroughly and regularly. Once established, they are quite drought-tolerant, but during dry spells, they will benefit from deep watering.

    3. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can lead to lush foliage but fewer flowers.

    4. Pruning: Prune Crape Myrtles in late winter or early spring, while they are still dormant. Remove dead or diseased wood, suckers from the base, and thin out the center to allow sunlight and air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, often referred to as "Crape Murder," which can lead to fewer blooms and a less attractive tree shape.

    5. Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests like aphids and Crape Myrtle Bark Scale. Treat any infestations promptly. Powdery mildew and sooty mold can also be issues. Planting in full sun, proper spacing, and good air circulation can help prevent these problems.

    6. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.

    With proper care, a Crape Myrtle can be a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to your landscape.

    Plant spacing

    How far from the house to plant depends on the variety of crape myrtle tree you choose.

    Small ones can go as close as 3 to 4 feet. 

    Larger crape myrtles need to be placed 10 feet or more away.

    If you plant a row of myrtles, place them about 4 to 6 feet or more apart (again, depending on variety).

    These plants are way too big for container growing.

        Highly recommend. Any graininess and whiteness are minimal and insignificant.
        Color: Blanco, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 2)
        This is the best mineral(non-chemical) lip sunscreen I have found. Highly recommend. The first few times I used it, it felt ever so slightly grainy. Maybe the graininess rose to the top. Even if it was grainy all the way through, I would still recommend. There is a slight whitish cast to your lips-not noticeable or significant in my opinion. There is a very minimal flavor and it has a nice feel on your lips.

        A must have for your summer bag
        I am 100% devoted to Blue Lizard products! I got some extra sun and needed relief, fast. This non-greasy nor slimy cream is exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for. I had applied aloe alone to my skin and received no relief. Within minutes if not seconds of applying this, I had noticed improvement. The consistency is not too thick or too thin, it absorbs into the skin nicely and can be reapplied without getting cakey. It gave my sunburn relief while also moisturizing the skin. I haven’t peeled at ALL. I love that it has clean ingredients and a neutral fragrance. My skin is so sensitive, so having natural ingredients is a plus. Blue Lizard After Sun is now my holy grail and I will recommend it over and over.

        HANDS. DOWN. AMAZING.
        I have used other products for after sunning in the past. This stuff is AMAZING and I wish I could be a spokesperson for it. I am extremely fair skinned and used this on my vacation at the beach. I used some spf which always leaves me slightly red. I put this on every night and the redness was gone by morning! I was ready to hit the sun again! It doesn’t have a scent and doesn’t leave a sticky lingering feeling or weird smell either. Just moisturizing and safe for my acne prone skin. I will buy this and use this forever!!!!

        Phenomenal.
        Got a baaaaad sunburn from head to toe. On day 2 or 3, I finally got this stuff. It took the sting away quickly. No smell, and it feels nice on the skin. It’s thin and spreads well. Definitely helped keep my burns moisturized - I didn’t even peel, save for the blisters on my shoulders. My boy even let me put it on his pink little cheek, and

        Miracle in a bottle!
        This was a lifesaver, I got badly burnt just walking for several miles one day. It was only in the 80's, not 100 degree's but still hot. Where I live there is a poor air quality, too. I was red as a lobster! It was painful and then i saw this. Read the reviews and hoped it would help. Did it ever! It not only helped sooth my skin, calm it down, it dramatically reduced the redness in just a few days! I should have saved the photo's of the before a several days after, but I deleted them. (I wasn't thinking and they were kind of gross). They would have shown the extent of the healing thanks to this cream. I even had some blisters, that shrank in two days after applying this! By the fourth day of applying this cream, they were gone and my skin went from being deep red to pink. What is even more awesome is this moisturized my skin! I have sensitive skin and this did not irritate it. So that was a plus! My only issue was it's a little tacky, sticky after you apply it. So don't apply right before bed, unless you want to be stuck to your sheets. If you're in dire need of relief and to reduce the redness, this is what you want, it is a miracle in a bottle!
