Summer's loudest statement. The tree that blooms when nothing else does.

Lagerstroemia indica, the Crape Myrtle, is the most spectacular summer-flowering tree available to growers in the American South and increasingly across the mid-Atlantic and lower Midwest, producing enormous clusters of crinkled pink, lavender, red, or white flowers through the hottest months of summer when most other flowering trees are finished for the year. It also delivers polished cinnamon-tan exfoliating bark that rivals River Birch for year-round ornamental value and brilliant fall color in shades of orange, red, and burgundy. Drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and long-blooming, the Crape Myrtle is the defining ornamental tree of the southern landscape. If you are looking to buy Crape Myrtle seeds or grow pink crape myrtle from seed, seed-grown trees produce their own range of flower colors and forms that clonally propagated nursery trees cannot match for variety.

  • Massive flower clusters blooming continuously through summer and into fall, the longest-blooming flowering tree available in warm climates
  • Exfoliating cinnamon-tan bark providing year-round ornamental interest comparable to the best ornamental barks
  • Brilliant orange, red, and burgundy fall color from a tree primarily known for summer flowers
  • Extremely drought-tolerant and heat-loving, thriving in conditions that stress most flowering trees
  • Seed-grown trees produce natural variation in flower color from soft pink through magenta and lavender

Things you probably did not know about the Crape Myrtle

It is not native to North America and has naturalized across the South. Crape Myrtle is native to China, Korea, and Southeast Asia and was introduced to American gardens in the late 18th century. Andre Michaux, the French botanist who traveled extensively in North America, introduced it to Charleston, South Carolina around 1786. It has been so widely planted and naturalized across the South in the 230 years since that most Southerners assume it is native.

Crape murder is a real horticultural problem. The widespread practice of severely topping Crape Myrtles, cutting them back to ugly stubs each winter in a misguided attempt to control size, is so destructive and so prevalent that horticulturists coined the term crape murder to describe it. Correctly pruned or unpruned Crape Myrtles develop beautiful natural forms that require no topping. The topping practice creates weak, rapidly growing watersprouts and destroys the natural grace of the tree permanently.

The flower petals look crinkled because they are. The petals of Crape Myrtle flowers are naturally crinkled and ruffled in a way that resembles crepe paper, which is where the common name comes from. This texture is visible up close and is one of the distinctive textural qualities of the flower. The ruffling increases the surface area of the petal and gives the flower clusters their characteristic full, frothy appearance.

Seed-grown trees take 3 to 5 years to first flower but develop stronger root systems. Crape Myrtles grown from seed bloom in their own genetic colors, which vary from soft pastel pink through deep magenta, lavender, and near-white. The specific flower color cannot be known until the tree first blooms. This genetic lottery is part of the appeal of growing from seed.

Cute but pills
Size: 3X, Color: Chocolate
Runs a little big. I’m good with that. The style and brown color are great! I love the wide sleeves. The material is very soft and cozy…but I wore it once for 3 hours and the sides and stomach area pilled. I am disappointed. I am going to hand wash it and see what it looks like. I may need to return it.

Perfect little set! Get both
Size: Small, Color: Porpoise
Such a soft sweater! You have to get the matching set! The quality is amazing and the material is nice and thick for those chilly days! The set feels like a more expensive brand so you get a good deal! I washed it and it did not shrink and the color did not fade. I hung to dry and the fabric still looks perfect!

Impressive style and quality!
Size: Large, Color: Chocolate
I was impressed by this ribbed crewneck sweater's quality and style. It's soft, comfortable and flowy without being shapeless. I love the back slit which ads a little chic. I chose the chocolate color which is a rich, dark cocoa. The sweater is true to size. The sleeves are slightly bell shaped which ads elegance. I highly recommend pairing this sweater with the matching cropped pants. Together it creates a lounging set that's casual yet elegant and ideal for travel. Highly recommend both.

Cute and Cozy
Size: Medium, Color: Chocolate
Normally I am hesitant to buy clothes off Amazon but I kept getting ads for this. I took the chance and bought this + the pants. I live in Michigan where winters get bitter cold. These are actually very cute and cozy. I wear one layer of thermals over it and my puffer coat but even without it, it's still warm. The size is fine I would say you are ok sticking with your regular size or sizing down. It is thick and stretchy too. I got lots of compliments on the outfit.

Shades of Sweater & Pants are Off
Size: X-Large, Color: Zephyr Pink
The color of the sweater and pants are not the same shade. Also, they are far from “cozy” and not as snuggly as I had hoped for. However the quality of the construction and material appear good.
