Crape Myrtles - Assorted

The Crape Myrtle tree, also known as Lagerstroemia, is a popular ornamental tree cherished for its vibrant and long-lasting blooms. Native to Asia, this deciduous tree is a staple in many Southern U.S. landscapes due to its heat and drought tolerance.

Crape Myrtles are renowned for their showy summer flowers that come in a variety of colors, including pink, purple, red, and white. The blooms are crinkled, resembling crepe paper, hence the name. These trees can bloom for up to 120 days, providing a splash of color when many other plants are not in season.

Beyond their beautiful flowers, Crape Myrtles have a unique, exfoliating bark that peels away to reveal a smooth and colorful trunk underneath. This feature adds winter interest to the landscape when the tree is leafless.

Crape Myrtles range in size from small shrubs to large trees, reaching heights of up to 30 feet. They are versatile and can be used in various landscape applications, including as specimen trees, in borders, or as privacy screens.

Caring for a Crape Myrtle involves regular watering, especially during dry periods, and pruning in late winter to promote a more abundant bloom in summer. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil.

In summary, the Crape Myrtle is a stunning, low-maintenance tree that offers year-round interest, making it a valuable addition to any garden.

    Plant care

    Caring for a Crape Myrtle tree involves several steps to ensure its health and longevity:

    1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Crape Myrtles thrive in heat and can tolerate drought, but they do best when they get at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.

    2. Watering: Water newly planted Crape Myrtles thoroughly and regularly. Once established, they are quite drought-tolerant, but during dry spells, they will benefit from deep watering.

    3. Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can lead to lush foliage but fewer flowers.

    4. Pruning: Prune Crape Myrtles in late winter or early spring, while they are still dormant. Remove dead or diseased wood, suckers from the base, and thin out the center to allow sunlight and air circulation. Avoid heavy pruning, often referred to as "Crape Murder," which can lead to fewer blooms and a less attractive tree shape.

    5. Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common pests like aphids and Crape Myrtle Bark Scale. Treat any infestations promptly. Powdery mildew and sooty mold can also be issues. Planting in full sun, proper spacing, and good air circulation can help prevent these problems.

    6. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.

    With proper care, a Crape Myrtle can be a beautiful, low-maintenance addition to your landscape.

    Plant spacing

    How far from the house to plant depends on the variety of crape myrtle tree you choose.

    Small ones can go as close as 3 to 4 feet. 

    Larger crape myrtles need to be placed 10 feet or more away.

    If you plant a row of myrtles, place them about 4 to 6 feet or more apart (again, depending on variety).

    These plants are way too big for container growing.

        This is perfect for keeping all my sponges and brushes all in one place! I love when things feel more organized. I also really like how the excess water drains out of the bottom back into the sink!

        Great product
        Color: Silver
        I had something similar that was a flat metal piece with a "V" shape design. It was awful water collected in the groves at bottom i had to almost place the front end off the counter because then when the water started to slow from raining it would somehow go back underneath and get my counter top wet. This is so much better! Bottom spot can be rotated out when needed and also can be pushed in to hide. I put this on the counter normally without hanging off the edge (unlike the other one) and because its a spout funnels water perfectly into sink and my counter stays dry. A tiny bit of water sometimes collect at the end of spout but overall great product! Also has a divided that can be moved but can only be placed in specific spots, obv can be removed full. Tall basket can be moved to either side
