Indulgence® Raspberry Gelato Crape Myrtle is a medium-sized deciduous shrub, growing rapidly to between 8 and 10 feet tall, and about 6 feet wide. It is densely covered in small glossy leaves that emerge in spring a fabulous deep purple-red, and hold their rich color for the rest of the season – no fading or browning. The 8-inch tall flower heads have up to 200 blooms in them, of a delicious raspberry-pink color. A really dynamic color effect is guaranteed. After dead-heading it will rebloom after a few weeks, meaning blossoms from June to September. Grow it for bright color anywhere in your garden, especially in dry areas and poor soil.
- Deep red-purple leaves from spring to fall
- Huge heads of raspberry-pink frilly blossoms
- Flowers from June to September
- Compact size for smaller gardens
- Incredibly easy to grow, and so beautiful
Full sun keeps the Indulgence® Raspberry Gelato Crape Myrtle flowering profusely, and it grows vigorously even in poor soils and hot, dry conditions. Once established it is very drought resistant. It has been bred to be unaffected by powdery mildew or cercospora leaf spot, so it always looks fresh and bright. Prune as needed in early spring, and avoid trimming in summer.
