Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Growing 20 to 30 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide, the single trunk Natchez Crape Myrtle is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or in straight, curved or staggered rows to line a drive or property line. It grows large enough to provide some welcome shade around patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces.
