TONTO® CRAPEMYRTLE

Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Tonto' is commonly referred to as Tonto Crapemyrtle. It is a semi-dwarf, multi-stemmed shrub with an upright, spreading habit. It features large clusters of long-lasting, bright magenta flowers from mid-summer through early fall. Dark green leaves turn orange-red in fall before dropping and revealing smooth, peeling, cinnamon-colored bark that adds winter interest.

Tonto Crapemyrtle is a specimen plant that is easy to grow, and is heat, drought and mildew resistant. It thrives in full sun in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Crapemyrtles bloom on new wood and should be pruned in winter to early spring.
