New Orleans Weeping Crape Myrtle – Purple Dwarf Dixie Series

New Orleans is the purple flowering variety of the Dixie Series; it blooms profusely from May through September. This dwarf form grows 5' high with about a 4' spread. Note : Regardless of hardiness zone, all crape myrtles are subject to die-back at temps below 15 degrees. Probability of this happening is increased by pruning in fall or winter. Prune only in earliest spring. Bloom will be on new wood.
