This crape myrtle blooms one of the most vivid purples of all other types. They emerge amidst bold, red foliage in the spring and their leaves become green by the summer. It can reach up to 6 feet tall and resists powdery mildew and leaf spot. When provided with lots of sunlight and well-drained soil, this crape myrtle does most of the work on its own!
