Crape Myrtle Dynamite®, Crapemyrtle Dynamite®, Lagerstroemia indica 'Whit II'
Noted for its true red blossoms, Lagerstroemia Dynamite® (Crape Myrtle) is a splendid, upright, deciduous tree with a profusion of large clusters, up to 14 in. long (35 cm), packed with crinkly, cherry red flowers at its branch tips. Blooming from midsummer to early fall in an explosion of red flowers smothering the foliage, it creates a remarkable display in the landscape. The foliage emerges crimson in spring, gradually matures to dark green, and turns orange and red shades in the fall before dropping – revealing the unique, smooth bark. This crape myrtle enjoys good disease resistance and adds great ornamental value across the seasons. It makes a striking specimen plant.
