The Diamond Dazzle® Crape Myrtle is a fabulous flowering bush with compact growth to no more than 4 feet tall and wide, blooming profusely from early summer into the fall. The big heads of pure-white flowers look great against the glossy, dark-green leaves, and each bloom has that classic ruffled crepe-paper look we all love. Ideal for beds or planter boxes, it would look terrific planted along a fence or around a terrace, or as a knock-out specimen with other flowering shrubs. Make sure your garden blooms in the summer heat with this terrific bush.
Plant your Diamond Dazzle® Crape Myrtles in full sun, in any well-drained soil. Established plants are drought resistant, and handle poor, dry soils well. It is even tolerant of salt-spray, so it’s great at the coast, and the leaves stay clean all summer because it has been bred for disease resistance. Dead-heading as flower clusters fade is helpful, and a spring trim before the new leaves come out will keep it super-bushy year after year. Don’t trim new growth before it has bloomed.
