About this plant
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.

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.
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.
