Lagerstroemia indica 'Whit II' PP0296 ~ Dynamite® Crape Myrtle
Dynamite® Crape Myrtle typically grows to a height of 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) with a spread of 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.5 meters). It has an upright growth habit and features dark green leaves that turn shades of orange and red in the fall, providing additional visual interest.
One of the standout features of Dynamite® Crape Myrtle is its abundant and vibrant red flowers. During the summer months, it produces large clusters of fiery red blossoms that cover the tree, creating a striking display of color. These flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators, making it a great choice for attracting wildlife to the garden.
Dynamite® Crape Myrtle is known for its tolerance to heat and drought once established. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. This variety is often used as a specimen plant, in borders, or as a focal point in the landscape, where its vibrant red flowers can make a bold statement.
