The Flamingo Passion™ Crape Myrtle, an Original Creation from Southern Charm Crape Myrtles, LLC, is a stunning dwarf variety that captures the elegance of a pink flamingo. Flamingo Passion™ matures to about 8ft tall and wide, this unusual crape myrtle features long, weeping branches adorned with dense, compact flower clusters in a vibrant flamingo pink. Each cluster, measuring 6-10 inches long, resembles a flamingo 🦩 bending gracefully to catch fish, with the yellow pollen only visible upon close inspection.
This crape myrtle is as unique as its name suggests. The trunks develop into unusual shapes, further enhancing its resemblance to a flamingo's neck. Flamingo Passion™ known for sending up new shoots from the roots each spring, creating even more weeping branches with rich pink blooms. While it can be used as a thick border or hedge, the Flamingo Passion™ truly shines as a specimen tree, thanks to its distinctive appearance and graceful form. Its moderate growth rate ensures a manageable size, and it delights with a long blooming season from early summer through fall. The autumn months bring a display of yellow and orange foliage, complemented by its beige and gray exfoliating bark.
