1 Bare Root White Crape Myrtle Starter Shrub 12 Inches Tall Ornamental Tree

White Crape Myrtle is a deciduous ornamental shrub or small tree prized for its prolific summer clusters of crisp white blooms and smooth, exfoliating bark that adds winter interest. 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.
Grown 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.
