Lagerstroemia 'Muskogee' Muskogee Crape Myrtle 36" $550 24" $390 Lagerstroemia 'Muskogee', commonly known as the Muskogee Crape Myrtle, is a stunning deciduous tree that boasts an elegant, slender trunk with an upright and open branching habit. This cultivar is celebrated for its long-lasting clusters of soft lavender-pink blooms, which appear at the tips of branches with a unique, ruffled texture reminiscent of delicate tissue paper. Blooming from summer into fall, the flowers are highly attractive to honeybees and other pollinators. The green foliage transforms into fiery red-orange tones in the fall, providing seasonal interest. The oval, slightly wavy-edged leaves are alternately arranged, and the smooth, exfoliating bark adds visual appeal, particularly as the tree matures. In addition to its beauty, 'Muskogee' is known for its resistance to powdery mildew, making it a durable and low-maintenance choice for landscapes.
