A broadleaf, semi-dwarf variety, Zuni Crape Myrtle will turn heads with its intense purple-violet flower clusters, brilliant fall foliage and exfoliating cream-and-brown bark. An upright, spreading growth habit peaks at roughly 15 tall, with reddish young branches that mature to light brown-grey bark. A midsummer, extended bloomer, Zuni Crape performs best when planted in full sun.

Long-Lasting Blooms: During the summer months, the Zuni Crape Myrtle dazzles with large, dark lavender-purple flower panicles that create a vibrant focal point in your yard. These richly colored blooms last for weeks, bringing warmth and charm to your outdoor spaces while drawing in pollinators to keep your garden buzzing with life.

A Kaleidoscope of Color, Year-Round: As summer fades, the Zuni Crape Myrtles foliage transforms from red-tinged young leaves to mature, dark glossy green before turning fiery orange-red, dark red and yellow in the fall. Even in winter, the Zuni Crape Myrtle stands out with its exfoliating bark, which peels away to reveal a smooth, textured trunk in varying shades of cream and brownadding interest when other plants have gone dormant.

Low-Maintenance and Hardy: Thanks to its mildew resistance and improved pest resistance, this tree stays healthy and vibrant with minimal care, making it an easy choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
