A double explosion of intense cherry-red flowers emerge throughout the summer on this re-blooming Crape Myrtle. Beautiful purple-green foliage gives it a colorful look all summer long.
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 on expired or poorly placed branches. And prune spent flower 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.
