| Hello all...
Was thinking of planting another crape myrtle in my yard.
Thanks.

| I'm not personally familiar with this particular hybrid., but it is reported to be hardier than the gorgeous Natchez, which can probably be found in your area. I'd give it plenty of space to grow properly without pruning and hope for the best. |

| phyleux, The local botanical garden had Sarah's Favorite that were every bit of 15-20+ feet. Turned very nice color in the fall, and had great exfoliating bark every bit as nice as Natchez IMHO. Alas they were frozen last winter during extreme cold (-22 degrees F at the botanical garden) and deep snow. Not sure if they have come back from the roots or not. They are purported to be the most cold tolerant Crape Mrytle Arktrees |
