i love this plant, they are beautiful when full & thick in bloom.
though in the dorment days its not very attractive and drops all its leaves. but its very well worth the wait of bloom, it started blooming the begining of the summer late may maybe or early june

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.
