Crape Myrtle Trees

Crape Myrtle Trees come in a variety of colors and sizes. Fast Growing Trees Nursery offers improved varieties that give you fuller, longer lasting blooms while being more mildew & disease resistant.

These varieties of Crape Myrtle are normally recommended by progressive landscape designers and architects, but you'll seldom find them in your local hardware store's garden center. These stores typically wait until a large number of people start requesting a certain variety before stocking it. Unfortunately, it takes several years for the general public to become familiar with new, easier to grow varieties. Meanwhile, these stores continue to sell inferior plants and the chemicals needed to maintain them.

Crepe Myrtles are perfect for adding color to your lawn in areas where space is a premium. Plant near powerlines or row your driveway with these flowering crape myrtles that can bloom for up to 120 days throughout the spring and summer.

Not only are these crape myrtle trees a colorful addition to your lawn, but they are easy to grow! New crape myrtle varieties resist disease, grow faster and give you longer lasting, brighter blooms. Our most popular flowering trees!

Crape Myrtles are the kings of color. They give you shades that you can't find on any other flowering tree, and they last months longer. If you're looking for a red crape myrtle, try the Arapaho. Its one of the brightest red flowers you can find... these blooms last up to 6 months! These trees are extremely unique.

The hottest new trend in southern landscaping is red crape myrtle trees. Since you don't normally find bright red blooms on trees, landscapers are planting all the red crape myrtles they can. And since these red blooms last from spring to fall, you get this amazing color for months and months!
