Pink Crape Myrtle
Pink crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) is a beautiful and versatile flowering tree. It is known for its large, showy blooms in a variety of shades of pink. Pink crape myrtle trees can grow up to 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide, but they can also be pruned to a smaller size.
Pink crape myrtle trees are relatively easy to grow and care for. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are also tolerant of drought, heat, and humidity.
To care for a pink crape myrtle tree, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the tree in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage reblooming. Prune the tree in the late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree.
Pink crape myrtle trees are a beautiful addition to any landscape. They can be planted as single specimen trees, in borders, or in containers. They are also a good choice for screening and privacy hedges.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
