Dazzle your garden with the Autauga Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia x ‘Autauga’), a captivating display of color and form. Unlike many crape myrtles with softer pink or lavender blooms, the Autauga boasts a rich, deep purple. These vibrant blooms erupt in a full and dramatic display throughout the summer, typically from June to September. The tight, compact clusters of flowers create a stunning contrast against the backdrop of the tree’s foliage, making it a guaranteed conversation starter in your yard. The Autauga Crape Myrtle offers a touch of elegance throughout the year. Its upright growth habit with graceful, arching branches creates a beautiful, well-shaped silhouette. This form adds vertical interest to your landscape design and can be a lovely focal point in borders, lining walkways, or even planted as a specimen tree. The foliage complements the vibrant blooms perfectly. Emerging in a bright green in spring, the leaves transition to a stunning orange-red in fall, adding another layer of visual interest as the seasons change. Reaching a mature height of 20 feet with a spread of 12 feet, the Autauga Crape Myrtle is a versatile choice for gardeners with various landscape sizes. Plus, it thrives in full sun with average, well-drained soil, making it a relatively low-maintenance addition to your garden. With its captivating blooms, elegant form, and seasonal foliage display, the Autauga Crape Myrtle is sure to become a treasured element in your outdoor space.
