The Cotton Candy Passion™ Crape Myrtle, another Unique Creation from Southern Charm Crape Myrtles, LLC, is reminiscent of the delightful cotton candy from childhood fairs. Cotton Candy Passion™ is a dwarf variety matures to approximately 10ft tall and 8-10ft wide, featuring giant pink flower clusters that stand on upright spires, evoking the appearance of spun sugar. The blooms transition from soft light pink to a deep, rich pink, creating a dynamic display of color throughout the season.
With a sweet floral scent, the Cotton Candy Passion™ Crape Myrtle attracts pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a lively addition to any garden. Despite its large flower clusters, Cotton Candy Passion™ maintains an upright growth habit. It naturally grows thick and bushy, making it an excellent choice for privacy. Additionally, it boasts an extended bloom period, lasting from spring well into fall, when the foliage transforms into vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The light beige and brown exfoliating bark add year-round interest, complements overall appeal of Cotton Candy Passion™.
