Our Tonto Crape Myrtle Tree will elevate your landscape with long-lasting, fuchsia-red blooms in summer, fiery fall foliage, and striking bark in winter—all in a compact, low-maintenance package. This vase-shaped tree is designed to thrive in just about any soil conditions, doesn’t require pruning and is rarely affected by insects, making it as easy to maintain as it is beautiful.

Long-Lasting Summer Blooms
The Tonto Crape Myrtle bursts into full bloom in mid-summer, with large clusters of eye-catching watermelon-red flowers. The long-lasting blooms last for weeks, with vibrant color that holds strong even through the heat of summer.

A Compact Tree That Thrives Anywhere
Thanks to its smaller size, the Tonto Crape Myrtle fits beautifully into nearly any landscape, whether as a feature in smaller gardens or as a dynamic accent in a mixed border. One of the hardiest tree-type crape myrtle varieties available.

Year-Round Appeal
In autumn, this variety puts on a spectacular show with its leaves shifting into bold shades of red and orange. As the seasons change, the beauty doesn’t end—attractive exfoliating bark peels away to reveal a textured and colorful trunk.

Low Maintenance, High Reward
This tree is drought and heat tolerant, and its mildew resistance ensures reliable, healthy growth year after year—an ideal choice for gardeners who want maximum impact with minimal work.
