Moderate to fast-growing deciduous tree to 20 ft tall by 20 ft wide. Crape Myrtle has long been a popular landscape favorite and is revered for its vibrant floral display and attractive multi-toned peeling bark. This vigorous variety forms a rounded-canopy with age and along with its glossy dark-green foliage is prized for its magnificent display of abundant pure-white flowers that appear throughout summer. Adding further appeal is attractive exfoliating grey and cinnamon-brown bark and a lovely fall foliage display in vibrant shades of orange and red. Well-suited as a background courtyard or street tree. Low water needs once established. Full sun.
