I planted three four foot "Tuscarora" crape myrtles in late spring and have been thrilled with them! They bloom profusely and have a beautiful and bright rosy/hot pink color to them. (Not mauve!) They have bloomed continuously because I have pruned the spent blooms and fed them with fertilizer.
This tree is all over Austin, TX...absolutely beautiful in a grouping!
