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!
An exceptionally cold hardy Crape Myrtle to USDA Zone 6, Sarah's Favorite is a year round color factory producing large clusters of pure white flowers for up to 120 days during summer that are up to 16 inches long! The dark green glossy leaves provide a nice backdrop for the flowers and turn to colorful shades of burgundy, red, and orange during the fall. Exfoliating cinnamon-red bark adds even more interest to the landscape during the winter months. Excellent resistance to powdery mildew.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 15 to 25 feet tall depending on pruning and 15 to 20 feet wide, Sarah's Favorite Crape Myrtle is ideal for use as a specimen, in grouping or straight or staggered rows to delineate a property line or line a driveway. A fine addition to white theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 15 feet apart for hedge; 25 feet apart for space between trees
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Crape Myrtle variety is not reliably 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
Sarah's Favorite Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.
