Tuscarora Crape Myrtle

The Tuscarora Crape Myrtle characterized by its pristine coral-pink blossoms that gracefully blanket the plant during the summer months are reminiscent of Southern charm. The Tuscarora Crape Myrtle showcases a graceful, upright growth habit, ultimately reaching a mature height of 15 to 20 feet with a spread of 10 to 20 feet, making it an ideal choice for a show-stopping standalone specimen or as part of a picturesque hedge.

Whether used to frame an entrance, grace a garden bed, or as a stunning backdrop, the Tuscarora Crape Myrtle adds a touch of Southern elegance to any outdoor space.

During the spring and summer, the leaves are a dark green, providing a fresh and vibrant backdrop for the tree’s stunning coral-pink blooms.

As the seasons shift to autumn, the foliage of the Tuscarora Crape Myrtle takes on a brilliant show of colors. The leaves typically change to a rich orange-red or sometimes a reddish-brown, adding a warm and inviting hue to the landscape. This seasonal transition in foliage color is one of the reasons why the Tuscarora Crape Myrtle is highly valued in gardens and landscapes, as it provides year-round visual interest.
