Description

When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!

Pink Velour is a truly spectacular mid-size Crape Myrtle that features dramatic wine red new leaves, dark purplish-green mature leaves, and large clusters of vibrant pink flowers through most of summer. If the first round of flowers are deadheaded Pink Velour will produce another flush of flowers late summer through mid-fall! Pink Velour is highly resistant to powdery mildew and Cercospora leaf spot.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 8-12 feet tall depending on pruning, and 8-10 feet or so wide, Pink Velour Crape Myrtle is an ideal selection for smaller garden spaces, and containers. It can be grown as a shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree, making it an excellent choice for use as a specimen or accent in sunny home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also makes a very colorful hedge and is spectacular in groupings. Whether planted as a specimen or in groupings, this is one plant that is sure to stand out in the landscape!

Spacing: 8′ for solid hedge; 12′ for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Crape Myrtle is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Pink Velour Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.
