Bellini® Guava Crape Myrtle

The Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle is a bright and vibrant compact bush, growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. The small glossy leaves are mid-green, turning orange and yellow in fall. From early summer right into fall every stem is topped with a cluster of many flowers, fascinating ruffled like crepe paper, and a wonderful clear, light pink. It’s a color that will lift your beds and planter boxes to a new dimension of beauty, and brighten your garden all summer long – with virtually no effort from you.

• The perfect compact size for beds, pots and low hedges
• Wonderful guava-pink blossoms like crepe paper
• In bloom continuously from June to September
• Will bloom well even in zone 6
• Untroubled by powdery mildew or deer

The Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle should be planted where it is in full sun – even a little shade reduces flowering. Grow it in any well-drained soil, and poor soils are acceptable too. Established plants are drought resistant, but an occasional summer soaking is always valuable. Untroubled by deer, normally free of pests, and resistant to important diseases, it’s easy to grow and trouble-free. A spring trim is all it takes to keep it vigorous and packed with flowers month after month.
