I don't really care for the looks of the usual crape myrtle found all over garden centers and what not with their shiny smooth bark, so I was surprized to see something completely different in a c.myrtle when I came across this one which is a chinese import. For the first few years I just kept styling it as you see here without letting it put out flowers. Last year I let it grow wild and it finally started blooming. In the Spring you will have to watch the leaves as they will want to get powdery milldew.
