Developed by the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., the Potomac Crape Myrtle is known for its 6-8" frilly pink panicles and stunning exfoliating bark. New, oval-shaped foliage emerges coppery-bronze in spring before maturing to an attractive dark green, and in fall, leaves turn vivid red, orange and gold. Adaptable and dynamic, Potomac is fast growing and low-maintenance, and can thrive for 50 years or more under ideal conditions.
Long, Clear Pink Blooms: The Potomac Crape Myrtle dazzles with pink, frilly panicles with a long bloom period from July to September. Flowers are crinkled and long—ranging from 6-8"— and while most emerge clear pink, flowers can also appear in other shades.
Exfoliating Bark: The Potomac Crape Myrtle features striking exfoliating bark in various shades of gray, adding texture and visual interest throughout the year.
Versatility in Size and Shape: With a dense, vertical growth habit, Potomac can be cultivated as a multi-stemmed shrub or a medium-sized tree, making it an adaptable option for various landscape needs. It naturally has a relatively rounded form, it will grow smaller in cooler regions.
