Cedar Lane Red Crape Myrtle

Lagerstroemia indica 'Cedar Lane Red' (Semi-dwarf) Hybridized by Cedar Lane Farms in Cullman, AL, Cedar Red produces blooms that are a true red. It has smooth, exfoliating bark; new leaves are red, turning dark green as they mature. This crape myrtle is considered a semi-dwarf, reaching a height of 3-4' in five years, and maturing to 6-10’. Note: Regardless of hardiness zone, all crape myrtles are subject to die-back at temps below 15 degrees. Probability of this happening is increased by pruning in fall or winter. Prune only in earliest spring. Bloom will be on new wood. *Deer Resistant* Ornamental Characteristics Category Flowering Shrub Foliage Type Deciduous Height 6' - 10' Spread 6' - 10' (widest at the top) Shape Upright & Spreading Primary Foliage Color Dark Green Seasonal Foliage Color Dark Green Flowering Season Summer to Autumn Flower Color Hot Red  Pollinator Friendly Yes Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Slow to Moderate Su
