The Fastest-Growing Crape Myrtle + True Red Blooms
Why Red Rocket Crape Myrtle Trees?
Just like its name suggests, the Red Rocket Crape Myrtle Tree shoots up like a rocket, growing up to 5 feet or more in only one year. Plus, it delivers bright red flowers from early July to September.
That’s 100 full days of color. And the color couldn’t be more effortless because the Red Rocket is also:
- Highly drought tolerant, meaning it can thrive on rainfall alone.
- Mildew resistant, standing up to disease like no other Crape can.
- Cold hardy, handling frigid temperatures down to 0 degrees with ease.
You get all of this and one of the truest red blooms on the market. The Red Rocket Crape Myrtle begins the season with a light red flower that ages to deep crimson red. And each year, it delivers a reliable, eye-catching color progression.

Crape Myrtle
Plant arrived healthy but not spectacular. It is doing well enough that eventually it will be spectacular, but it isn't quite there yet.
Red Rocket Crepe Myrtle
When I received my crepe Myrtle, it was in good shape good health and is growing quite well. However, we have had quite the heat spell as most of the country has and it’s growth has slowed down considerably so I’m hoping that won’t be overcome by that heat.
Arrived in perfect shape and
Arrived in perfect shape and we already can see new growth in the tree. Great quality in the purchase we made.
Doing good, slow growing in
Doing good, slow growing in the beginning, but we raise them, in the ground right away.
Healthy start to beautiful trees!!
I bought 2 of these beauties! Both are planted and seem to be doing well. I ordered them separately; therefore, they were shipped separate. Everything I have bought from Fast Growing Trees have arrive packed securely, plants have been in great health, and all are doing well after being planted. (And I am not a green thumb. . . . it is all trial and error for me. So this says a lot!)
