Noteworthy Characteristics
Centennial Spirit Crape Myrtle is a prolific producer of large, wine-red flower clusters from 8 to 16 inches long. It has an upright growing habit with leaves that are glossy green in the summer and in the fall they turn to a spectacular orange and red. Exfoliating gray colored bark in thin strips exposes a smooth and cream colored bark. Good resistance to powdery mildew.
Uses
