The Tuscarora Crape Myrtle is a beautiful medium-size shade tree which produces large plumes of coral-pink flowers which last nearly all Summer. Crepe myrtle needs full sun (6 or more hours per day) to thrive. With less sunlight, blooms will not be as prolific and their colors may be diminished. These plants are not demanding about the pH of their soil, though neutral or slightly acidic soils are best. Grows 15 to 20 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide when matured.
