Fuchsia-red flowers appear in early summer on this graceful, easy-to-care-for large shrub or ornamental tree.

Fertilize at least every spring and summer with an all-purpose blend like our Kerby's Special 8-4-8. And contrary to popular belief, crapes do not require much pruning. You can conduct light prunes whenever, such as expired or poorly placed branches. And prune spent flowers clusters (between the bloom and the next leaves) to encourage a second or even third round of flowers. But save hard prunes for end of winter and never drastically cut back all the branches, this is known as crape murder and can shock your plant.
