Crape Myrtles
Crape Myrtles are a favorite landscape addition throughout the south. They are hardy from Zones 6 thru 10. They like full sun and love the heat. They will grow in almost any soil including poor soil. They are an excellent xeriscape plant. Although they don't require it, fertilizing in the spring is recommended. They are drought tolerant and do not do well in overly wet soil.
Crape Myrtles will bloom all summer long, in shades of white, pink, red, purple, lavender, and coral, once the temperatures get hot. Their leaves are glossy green, some varieties have black or near black foliage. They also provide fall color when the leaves turn shades of yellow, orange, red, and burgundy depending on variety. Some varieties have a unique peeling bark that adds to the beauty of this versatile plant. Crape Myrtles come in different shapes and sizes. There are dwarf varieties only reaching 18" tall, all the way up to tree specimens reaching 20'+.
