Pink Crepe Myrtle for Sale - Lagerstroemia Indica 'Sioux
The Pink Crepe Myrtle is a remarkably stunning tree whose bright pink blossoms grow in fluffy clusters, their edges curling delicately like crepe paper. It blooms at the end of summer and is one of the most sought-after flowering trees because of its long blooming cycle, and it blooms when all else has already stopped for the year.
The blooms are close together and dome over the edge of every branch, continuing downward before being met with the large, pointed leaves. This tree is most common in the southern United States, but it is perfect for the centerpiece of any garden, anywhere. It has showy blooms and lush foliage and is also easy to maintain and care for—a total win.

Notable Characteristics of Pink Crepe Myrtle
The Pink Crepe Myrtle gets its name from its glorious pink flowers. Their petals are thin and crinkled, resembling the texture of crepe paper or even the thin, delicate dough of a French crepe. The myrtle has sinewy, fluted branches, and its bark has a mottled appearance, creating almost a striped effect.
The leaves are found in thick clusters, their bright green color shining against the deep pink of the flowers. Looking closely, you can see that the leaves have a pinkish-red tint running along their veins, creating a harmonious overall look.
Landscape and Maintenance of Pink Crepe Myrtle
The Pink Crepe Myrtle needs consistent moisture, especially before it establishes itself after planting. During the hottest and driest months, it may require supplemental watering, but it can be remarkably drought-tolerant once established.
It is essential to consistently water during the flowering season to ensure your garden's blooms are as large and vibrant as possible. This tree will thrive with full sun and well-draining soil, but overall is a very low-maintenance tree. The flourishing pink blooms will surely be the perfect centerpiece for your garden scape.

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.
We carefully package every plant to retain superior moisture during transit. Once prepared, orders ship the same day through UPS or USPS, with typical delivery in 2–4 days.
