Introducing the compact, micro-mini, Orchid Bijou Micro Mini™, another Original Creation by Southern Charm Crape Myrtles, LLC that is sure to add charm any garden.  Bijou is French for "jewel" or "gem," and this miniature crape myrtle lives up to its name with its petite size and delicate purple flowers.  Orchid Bijou Micro Mini™ perfectly describes this miniature crape myrtle that matures to only 2-3 feet tall and wide, making it the perfect choice for those who want to add a splash of elegant purple to their garden but have limited space.

Derived from the smallest of crape myrtles, the Chickasaw, the Orchid Bijou Micro Mini™ boasts tiny purple flower clusters that bloom from early summer well into fall.  Bred for color, toughness, disease and insect resistance, the Orchid Bijou Micro Mini™ crape myrtle is perfect for shrub plantings, borders or growing in pots.

With its upright growth pattern, tiny leaves and lilliputian flowers, this rare specimen shrub is sure to add depth of character to any landscape. The fall foliage of Orchid Bijou Micro Mini™ is equally stunning, showcasing shades of red, yellow, and orange, while the light beige and white bark offers a beautiful contrast to the vibrant blush-pink blooms.
