Red Rocket Crepe Myrtle

$49.99

Lagerstroemia 'Red Rocket' or Red Rocket Crape Myrtle is a stunning deciduous tree that is prized for its vibrant red blooms and attractive bark. It typically grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet and a width of 12 to 15 feet at maturity.

In the summer, 'Red Rocket' produces masses of large, bright red flowers that cover the entire tree, creating a spectacular display.  As the flowers fade, they are replaced by small, round, brown seed capsules.

The bark of 'Red Rocket' is another attractive feature. It is smooth and light gray when young, but as the tree ages, the bark peels away to reveal a beautiful, mottled pattern of grays, browns, and creams.

'Red Rocket' is a hardy tree that is relatively low-maintenance. It prefers well-draining soil and full sun, but can also tolerate some shade. It is also drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for use in hot, dry climates.
