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.

Not So Fast
Trees arrived in good shape and have been hardy since purchased around 2016 it's now 2025 and these have been anything but fast growing. They get full sun and rarely ever water them our yard is just sand for soil. We planted two other Crape Myrtle trees in 2019 that have grown MUCH faster they are purple. As of 2025 the purple trees are bigger than the Red trees.
Crape myrtle
I gave it to my husband the day it arrived. He immediately planted it. It has grown at least double the size it was and started blooming when it was tiny. Still blooming! It’s gorgeous!! My husband is happy with it, and that makes me happy! Thank you for your quality plant!
Hanging in there.

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.
