Crape Myrtle - Summerlasting Raspberry

The Summerlasting Raspberry Crape Myrtle is a compact, reblooming shrub form of crape myrtle prized for its vivid raspberry-pink blooms and deep burgundy foliage that holds its color all season. Unlike traditional crape myrtles, this variety stays small and dense, making it perfect for foundation plantings, borders, containers, and low-maintenance landscapes. 

It blooms continuously from summer through fall, and its foliage resists fading, mildew, and heat stress. With a naturally tidy form and exceptional color contrast, this crape myrtle delivers big visual impact in a smaller footprint.
