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.

        Serves purpose and holds what it was intended to
        Color: 2 Tier-Black, Color: 2 Tier-Black
        I like it. Keeps things organized and handy in small kitchen. The attachable bin holding my brushes I put on outside of unit not inside as company pics show it. That bin only has one clip to hold it in place. This makes it a little wobbly if you want to place it on the outside like I did. I used 2 trash bag twisties to help tighten it into place. Doing this made it no longer lose and the inside area space larger to hold both of my soaps. Fits everything I need it to. I appreciated the little lever on bottom that moves for water drainage. My sink design doesn’t work for the other drainage design I found these to have online.

        Love this, looks just like picture. Fits perfect by my sink and the drain spout positions right into sink. Holds quite a few things. A kitchen must have! Well made, stays put, easy to rinse when needed and my room mate loved it too!

        Great sink organizer
        Color: 1 Tier-Black, Color: 1 Tier-Black
        I've been searching seems like forever for something to make my kitchen sink look more organized and this caddy solves my problem!! I found a different use for the basket that holds a scrub brush since I don't use one of those. Nice design that fits my kitchen objects and no worries about removing a tray to empty water out. I used the adhesive holder to attach it to the wall behind the sink but one corner is peeling off, causing the basket to hand on that side. :( It would have been nice to have a replacement for that, but overall I'm pretty impressed with this thing!!

        Exactly what my sink needed!!
        Color: Black, Color: Black
        Okay, this thing turned out to be way more useful than I expected. It’s big enough to actually hold everything — sponge, scrub brush, even the soap dispenser — without looking cluttered or crammed together. Plus everything dries faster, so my sink area finally doesn’t look like a wet chaotic mess all the time. 😅 The quality is really solid too. Feels sturdy, doesn’t rust, and was super easy to install. It stays put and keeps water from collecting around the sink, which honestly makes cleanup so much easier. Such a simple little product, but it really does make the kitchen look cleaner and more organized. Definitely recommend.
