Scarlet Red Crape Myrtle produces gorgeous red blooms and is considered to be one of the hardiest crape myrtles in the South. It is a heat loving variety of crape and is said to be one of the best for mildew resistance.
It has a multi-trunk growth habit with dark green leaves. Bloom season for Scarlet Red starts in early July and runs through September (and sometimes a little longer). Pruning off spent flowers helps to prolong the bloom season on this variety.
Mature size on the Scarlet Red Crape Myrtles is 20' tall and about 15' wide.
Crape Myrtles prefer full sun, with at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Crape Myrtles can tolerate some shade, but it will result in poor bloom production.
