Bay Gardens Crape Myrtle Muskogee (Lavender)

Crape Myrtles have recently become one of the most popular choices of flowering trees for gardens and landscapes throughout Long Island. Their extravagant bloom sessions during Summer and beautifully-colored, mottled bark are the main characteristics that have made them such a popular choice. Crape Myrtles prefer a sunny, hot location and prefer to be kept out of cold/exposed locations. Make sure to place this tree in a visible location as its flower displays are truly remarkable in the midst of the summer.
