We carry only the most mildew resistant varieties available. The best of the varieties we try to keep available include:

Muskogee: this is a large and fast growing variety to about 25-30’ tall. It’s a soft lavender that is easy to use in most color schemes.

Natchez: Another large growing variety to about 25’ plus. This time it is white with striking exfoliating bark in the winter. I use this a lot.

Tuskagee: a watermelon pink-red that also grows large in the 25’ range. It has somewhat spreading growth.

Tuscarora: a coral pink-red with more upright growth than the above varieties. It is also somewhat smaller growing to about 20’.

Red Rocket: this new variety is in short supply becuse it is new. It is true red with reddish new foliage. one of the best true reds.

Hopi: medium pink growing to 12-15’ tall

Pecos: this is another pink with almost weeping branches growing to 10-12’.

Zuni: this is a rich lavender with more upright growth also growing to 10 or 12’ . tall.

Crape Myrtle really shines in the Central Valley and with the new mildew resistant varieties we carry, they really are extremely problem-free.
