Another exclusive creation from Southern Charm Crape Myrtles, LLC, the Elizabethanne Red Passion™ is the ULTIMATE showstopper for your landscape. This stunning crape myrtle boasts vivid crimson red flowers in massive clusters over 18 inches long, blooming prolifically from late spring through fall. The lush, dark green foliage of Elizabethanne Red Passion™ provides the perfect backdrop to make the bright red blooms truly pop.
Maturing to an impressive 20ft tall and 15ft+ wide, this crape myrtle is an extremely fast grower, making it ideal for those seeking quick, dramatic impact. A feature that sets the Elizabethanne Red Passion™ crape myrtle apart is its breathtaking rainbow fall foliage. Starting as bright yellow at the base, the leaves transition to gold, fiery orange-red, and deep purple at the top before dropping for winter.
Adding to its allure, the Elizabethanne Red Passion™ features light beige exfoliating bark reminiscent of Natchez, peeling to reveal rich dark brown and cinnamon-red tones beneath. This striking combination of blooms, foliage, and bark makes Elizabethanne Red Passion™ a one-of-a-kind addition to any garden.
