Year-Round Beauty and Ornamental Value
Beyond its summer blooms, the Scarlet Colorama™ Crapemyrtle continues to impress throughout the year. Its deep green foliage provides a lush backdrop to the red flowers during the growing season, while in the fall, the leaves transition to warm shades of red, orange, and yellow. In the winter, its smooth, exfoliating bark reveals striking shades of gray and brown, adding texture and visual interest when the tree is bare. This multi-season appeal ensures that your landscape stays attractive and colorful, even during the colder months.
Heat-Tolerant and Drought-Resistant
The Scarlet Colorama™ Crapemyrtle thrives in hot, sunny climates and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for regions with hot, dry summers. It grows best in USDA Zones 6-9 and performs well in a variety of soil types, as long as the soil is well-drained. This resilience makes the Scarlet Colorama™ a perfect choice for southern gardens or areas with challenging growing conditions, offering beauty and bold color without the need for constant watering.

The Scarlet Colorama™ Crapemyrtle is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance tree that requires minimal care once established. It thrives in full sun and benefits from well-drained soil, but it adapts well to a variety of growing conditions. Light pruning in late winter or early spring encourages fuller growth and more prolific blooming, though the tree is naturally resilient and requires little intervention to remain healthy and beautiful. Its resistance to common pests and diseases makes it a hassle-free choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
