Description

One of the most stunningly colorful summer-flowering shrubs in our gardens, with an exceptionally heavy flower set, My Fair Lady Myrtle is a dwarf Crape Myrtle to 4 to 5 feet tall and equally wide featuring massively abundant large clusters of deep pink flowers beginning in early summer and reblooming through summer and into into fall. Powdery mildew resistant deep green foliage throughout the season serves as a fine backdrop to showcase the flowers. Easy to grow and very low maintenance with no pruning required, My Fair Myrtle is one of the most cold hardy of all crape myrtles handling winter low temperatures to -5F in USDA Zone 6a, and is equally as heat hardy as far south as USDA Zone 10. If you love crape myrtles like we do, My Fair Lady is certainly one to consider finding just the right sunny spot in the landscape where you can enjoy her unrivaled summer-long color show.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, My Fair Myrtle Crape Myrtle is an ideal selection for an accent or specimen in small to medium size garden spaces or as a stand alone in large containers of 18″ or more in diameter. In larger landscape spaces My Fair Lady is outstanding in small to large groupings, as a colorful hedge, or as a soil stabilizer on slopes. A fine addition to flowering shrub borders, pink theme gardens, butterfly gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4′ for hedges, 7′ or for space between plants

Growing Preferences

My Fair Myrtle Crape Myrtle is exceptionally easy to grow and maintain in most any soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. We suggest a minimum of 6 hours direct sunlight per day. Maintenance is minimal, with very little if any pruning required maintain density and a nice form. A light pruning before leaves emerge in early spring can help to maintain an even more dense shrub and more but smaller flower clusters. When established, plants are quite drought tolerant only requiring supplemental water during extended dry periods during summer. As with all other crape myrtle, deer won’t touch this one.
