Purple Flowering Crape Myrtle Tree

Purple Crape Myrtle Trees are smaller growing crape myrtle trees that grow much like a tall shrub with its top spreading growth habit but can be pruned for more of a tall tree shape. Purple Crape Myrtles mature in the 10 to 20 foot tall height range or shorter with early spring prunings. 

This lagerstroemia produces soft lavender to violet purple blooms. A regular watering schedule after planting for about 6 to 8 weeks helps to establish a deep, strong root system so afterwards, the crepe myrtle tree requires only occasional watering.

Purple Crape Myrtle Trees offer brilliant purple red fall foliage. This plant is mildew resistant and an excellent choice for planters.
