Description

This is one of our exclusive cultivars from Dr. Keith Zary’s brand new Northern Belle Hardy Crape Myrtle series. This series produces the most hardy crape myrtles yet–they don’t just survive in northern zones, they put on a brilliant performance year after year. It’s even reliable as a rebloomer in the cooler zones, which is totally unprecidented. In midsummer, when other flowering shrubs are fading, this variety will burst into bloom with a searing hot, vivid color. Butterflies adore it. It thrives all the way up to zones 5 with a heavy mulch–we got an excellent performance out of it in zone 6, even without winter protection. It stays at a good height for a border accent shrub. In cooler zones it’ll die back to the ground and grow new each year, to about 3′ tall. It will grow a little taller in warmer zones–still not the size of a tree, but we’ve seen this cultivar grow up to 5′ tall in sunny California. Drought tolerant once established.
