Description
When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!
An extraordinary new introduction from Dr. Carl Whitcomb and perfect as a focal point in the landscape or large containers, this is the single trunk topiary form of the Double Dynamite Crape Myrtle tree. This beauty has the unique ability to bloom continuously on the same flower panicle. That means you can enjoy its abundance of vivid cherry-red flowers continuously for over 100 days of bloom. But the special attributes don’t stop there. The bright flowers stand out marvelously against the handsome, deep green purple-tinted disease resistant foliage.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 12-15 feet tall, the Double Dynamite Crape Myrtle is ideal for use as a specimen or accent in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings or large pots. This is one plant that is sure to stand out in your landscape!
Suggested Spacing: 14 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Double Dynamite Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.
