The Miss Sandra Crape Myrtle is a small tree reaching 20 feet within 10 years, with a dense, leafy crown and upright spreading growth. All summer long it is covered in big flower heads of very large flowers, of a brilliant rich purple-violet color. It is perfect as a specimen tree on a lawn, at the back of shrub beds, in the corners of your garden or near the house. It makes a tough and reliable screen, even in hot and dry areas.
The Miss Sandra Crape Myrtle grows best in full sun, in any well-drained soil, including dry, rocky and sandy soils. It thrives in hot, dry places, and it is very drought resistant once it is established. It was bred to have strong resistance to all the important diseases of crape myrtles, and it is very tough, reliable and easy to grow. Some pruning in late winter will keep it dense and a little shorter, if desired.
