Razzle Dazzle™ Dwarf Crapemyrtles … an exciting new series bred by distinguished horticulturalist and breeder, Dr. Michael A. Dirr. Bred for their compact habit, as well as their ease-of-care and mildew resistance, these gems add exceptional color to the summer garden. Crapemyrtles are found all over the southern U.S. and are most known for their ability to withstand high heat and humidity conditions. Most existing Crapemyrtle varieties grow into very large shrubs or even small to medium size trees. Dr. Dirr's breeding has created plants with the colorful foliage and the tremendous flower power of traditional Crapemyrtles, but refined them to a size that will even fit into small spaces.

Gardeners in more northern areas are able to enjoy these southern beauties as container plants. They make a beautiful summer combination in a container mixed with grasses, annuals or perennials. During the winter, the planter can be brought into the garage for protection and then brought out again the next spring.
