Crepe Myrtle For Sale
Crepe Myrtle is a flowering tree or shrub prized for its long summer blooms, colorful bark, and graceful form. It’s often grown as an ornamental in landscapes because it offers vibrant flowers and attractive fall foliage.
These flowering plants are among the most cherished flowering trees and shrubs in American landscapes, and at TN Nursery, we are proud to offer them in an array of colors—white, pink, purple, and red. This plant starts growing when every other flowering tree stops blooming in July. It has a long blooming cycle, lasting up to 8 weeks.
Known for their long-lasting summer blooms, these versatile plants bring vibrant color to gardens, yards, and public spaces during the hottest months when many other plants have stopped flowering.
Their show-stopping clusters of blossoms brighten outdoor areas and attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, making them a beautiful and ecologically valuable choice for homeowners.
Crepe Myrtles are highly adaptable and low-maintenance
They also grow well in various soils, tolerate drought once established, and perform exceptionally well in full sun. Many gardeners choose crepe myrtles for their fast growth and ability to provide shade and ornamental appeal quickly.
Their graceful, vase-shaped form pairs beautifully with their multi-season interest. After the summer flowers fade, crepe myrtles display rich autumn foliage in shades of orange, red, and yellow, extending their beauty well into fall.
Crepe Myrtle Shrubs Have Beautiful Bark
Even in winter, their smooth, exfoliating bark adds a striking architectural element to the landscape. Crepe myrtles, which come in different sizes and growth habits, can be used as small ornamental trees, privacy borders, or stunning flowering hedges.

How To Grow & Care Tips
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
