When Natchez Crape Myrtle trees are in bloom, it looks as if we just received snow in the heat of the summer! These fast-growing trees blooms pure white, soft-textured flowers in the summer, creating a scene that calls you to enjoy the lovely flowers and cooling shade! These small ornamental trees are a hybrid introduced by the U.S. National Arboretum selected for their hardiness and mildew resistance.

Enjoy the lovely sight of this white flowering tree for months on end! We like to plant them in rows as they make a great tree for privacy hedges or a spectacular property border. They also make for an excellent medium-sized shade tree.

The clusters of white flowers tend to steal the show, but that is not where the color stops. The deciduous Natchez Crape Myrtle tree features glossy green foliage that turns to a brilliant orange-red in the fall, making this one of the best trees with fall color for your landscape!

As an added attraction, this highly mildew-resistant tree has a smooth, cinnamon-colored bark that peels to reveal a shiny light gray hue. Crape Myrtles truly bring year-round color! Highlight the attractive bark and tree structure with nighttime landscape lighting. Night lighting will take your landscape's 'wow' factor to a whole new level!

Homeowners in the Southwest are sure to appreciate how water-wise Crape Myrtles are. They will have low to moderate watering needs once established. Plant them in a spot with full sun exposure, and they will thrive. Their tolerance for urban conditions makes them a suitable addition for adding natural color to any urban garden, too.

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 Natchez 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 white flowers!
