The new Tonto Crape Myrtle gives you huge, bright red blooms throughout the summer. This is the perfect tree if you want to add vibrant color to your lawn, but have limited yard space.
Your crape myrtle matures to 8-15 ft., making it the perfect tree to tuck away in tight areas. However, it will soon attract attention with its abundance of fiery-red flowers that last from late spring to early fall.
Developed in the National Arboretum in 1990, the Tonto Crape Myrtle was bred to give you an explosion of color without the hassle of a large tree.
Winner of the:
• Georgia Gold Medal (1996)
• Mississippi Medallion (1999)
Perhaps the most resistant crape myrtle to flower spotting. Your Tonto will keep its deep green foliage until autumn, when it will turn a dark maroon. Your crape myrtle will be one of the last trees in your lawn to lose its leaves in the fall.
Your new tree has a well developed root structure that will support rapid growth. We have pruned your Crape Myrtle back so that it will grow stronger roots as well as give you a full, beautiful form that encourages the most blooms possible.
These trees are easy to transplant. They are very hardy and adaptable, meaning your tree will begin thriving in your lawn very soon. Ideal for Growing Zones 7-9.
