LAGERSTROEMIA IND DYNAMITE

LAGERSTROEMIA IND DYNAMITE
Grower Notes:

Lagerstroemia indica 'Whit II' is commonly referred to as Dynamite® Crapemyrtle. It is a hardy, fast-growing, deciduous, ornamental shrub with smooth, peeling bark and ruffled, crinkly, cherry red flower clusters from summer to fall. Flowers give way to seed capsules which persist into winter. The foliage emerges crimson red in spring, later maturing to dark green and then vivid orange-red in fall. It is noteworthy for its excellent mildew resistance and attractive exfoliating bark.

The Dynamite Crapemyrtle thrives in full sun in rich, fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soil. It performs best in an area sheltered from cold winter winds.
