About

The Enduring Red Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica 'Enduring Red') is a highly sought-after, ornamental shrub known for its stunning, red flowers and colorful, year-round foliage. This captivating plant is perfect for adding a burst of color and visual interest to any landscape.

The Overall Plant

Enduring Red Crape Myrtle is a versatile, medium-sized shrub, reaching heights of 4-5 feet with a similar spread, making it an excellent choice for various garden applications, including hedges, borders, or specimen plantings. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 7-9 and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil and full sun exposure. This particular crape myrtle variety is noted for its vigorous growth, attractive bark, and resistance to diseases, such as powdery mildew and leaf spot, ensuring a healthy and beautiful plant throughout the year.

The Flowers

One of the most striking features of the Enduring Red Crape Myrtle is its vibrant, red flowers. The large, conical clusters of blooms appear in mid to late summer and last for several weeks, creating a dazzling display of color in the landscape. The flowers, consisting of numerous ruffled petals, are a favorite of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, making this crape myrtle an eco-friendly addition to any garden. The long-lasting blooms make the Enduring Red Crape Myrtle an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a dramatic and continuous show of color during the summer months.

The Foliage

In addition to its stunning flowers, the Enduring Red Crape Myrtle boasts attractive foliage that provides year-round visual interest. The leaves emerge in spring with a deep burgundy hue, gradually transitioning to a glossy, dark green in the summer months. As the season progresses, the foliage transforms once more, taking on a brilliant display of red and orange in the fall. The peeling, cinnamon-colored bark adds another layer of textural interest, making the Enduring Red Crape Myrtle a visually appealing choice throughout the year.
