Add stunning color and beauty to your landscape with this set of 2 live Dark Purple Crepe Myrtle plants (Lagerstroemia). These fast-growing flowering trees are admired for their vibrant dark purple flower clusters, attractive bark, and graceful branching structure. Each plant is approximately 6 inches tall and comes as a rooted starter cutting, shipped bare root without a nursery pot. Crepe Myrtle can be grown as a small flowering shrub with regular pruning or allowed to develop into a larger ornamental tree. Mature plants can reach up to approximately 20 feet tall and wide, depending on growing conditions and pruning. They thrive in sunny locations, tolerate partial shade, and become relatively drought and frost tolerant once established. Please note that plants may arrive dormant without leaves during winter, which is a normal seasonal condition.
