The Pocomoke Crape Myrtle is a delightful new, dwarf Crape Myrtle that is idea for smaller gardens or for mass-planting in larger ones. It grows no more than two feet tall and three feet across and it can be grown for years as a container plant, making it an ideal choice for terraces and balconies even if you have no garden at all. It can be grown from zone 6 up into all the warmer parts of the country. This Crape Myrtle has deep rose-pink flowers from early summer right to the end of fall and provides continuous bloom. In fall the leaves will turn beautiful shades of bronzy-red, adding to the interest created by this beautiful little plant. Despite its size this is a tough, drought-resistant plant that will thrive in hot, sunny locations.
Plant your Pocomoke Crape Myrtle in a sunny spot, in any well-drained soil. It will grow even in poorer soils, but new plants should be watered regularly for the first season. This plant has no significant pests, and it is resistant to mildew, so the leaves so glossy and healthy all summer long. A simple trim in spring is all it needs to bring you flowers for months. This dwarf plant is ideal in containers too – just be sure they have drainage holes and they will live happily for years in a pot or planter.
