A classic choice for warm-climate landscapes, this starter shrub arrives bare root and is ready to establish in a sunny border, patio container, or as a specimen planting.\u003cbr\u003e\nGrown for its graceful vase-shaped habit and long flowering season, the white crape myrtle layers beautifully into mixed beds, foundation plantings, and pollinator-friendly gardens. It works well as a small ornamental tree when trained to a single trunk or as a multi-stem shrub for informal hedges. Bloom spikes appear on new growth through summer, followed by subtle autumn foliage color and attractive peeling bark. Plant in a well-drained location with full sun for best flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Lagerstroemia indica\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub or small tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, vase-shaped, multi-stem or trained single trunk\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, average fertility\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 7-10\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6-12 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: White flowering form; prune in late winter to encourage new growth and blooms\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67593917366582,"sku":"BTR-138","price":38.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/download_6e9cceef-6569-415d-b4cb-9abb5fc246f4.png?v=1790578229","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-bare-root-white-crape-myrtle-starter-shrub-12-inches-tall-ornamental-tree","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
