Crape myrtle is known for its long-lasting summer blooms and colorful bark. Native to East and Southeast Asia, they were introduced to the U.S. in the late 1700s. From midsummer into fall, its crinkled flowers range from white and pink to deep red and purple, bring vivid color when most plants have stopped blooming. Smooth, peeling bark and striking fall foliage add year- round appeal. Fast-growing and low-maintenance, crape myrtle tolerates drought, heat, and urban pollution once established. It attracts songbirds, pollinators, and butterflies, and is available in dwarf to tall varieties, making it a versatile choice.
