Description

'Biloxi' Crape Myrtle is a pale pink flowering deciduous small vase-shaped tree.  It was bred to have a long bloom season, better winter hardiness, drought tolerance and increased resistance to powdery mildew.  This is a great choice for urban areas that have small spaces.  

Pruning should be completed in winter or early spring, as this plant blooms on new wood.  

A layer of organic mulch will help keep the plant retain moisture.

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  The Clemson Cooperative Extension Home & Garden Information Center has a factsheet on common crape myrtle pests and diseases.
