Crape Myrtle Muskogee Lavender 15 Gallon Tree

Light lavender flowers bloom in early summer on this multi-stemmed tall shrub or small tree. Glossy green, disease-resistant leaves turn red in fall.

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. 

Plant with Black Gold Ultra Outdoor Soil and Espoma's Bio-Tone
