Plant a few Miami Crape Myrtle trees in your landscape and bask in the plethora of pink-red flower clusters in the summer! Miami Crape Myrtles can bring plenty of year-round color to landscapes when not much else is blooming. This deciduous tree is a beauty that also happens to be the perfect size for smaller yards.

The show doesn't stop at the huge clusters of blooms this pink-flowering tree produces. Its bright green foliage develops an orange-red fall color, and when paired with its smooth, mottled light cinnamon-brown bark, you have one of the best trees with fall color!

We like to plant a few Miami Crape Myrtle trees along a fence line, creating a beautiful privacy hedge screen. Plant them as specimen or streetside trees to add instant curb appeal.

Anyone that has ever grown Miami Crape Myrtle trees knows just how easy they are to care for. These water-wise trees tolerate urban pollution allowing them to add vibrant color to any metropolitan area.

Once established, they require little to moderate watering, and are prized for their hardiness and mildew resistance. Plant Crape Myrtle Miami trees in locations that get plenty of full sun exposure and they will thrive and reward your yard with vibrant summer color and fall foliage!

Due to the slower growth rate of Crape Myrtle trees, we recommend planting mature specimens to bring instant color and curb appeal to your home. These trees benefit from monthly applications of fertilizer such as our Moon Dust from March to September. The extra nutrients will keep your Miami Crape Myrtles happy and healthy, help push more growth for a lush canopy and myriad of fall foliage, as well as promote the best coat of stunning red-pink flowers!
