The Delta Blush Crape Myrtle, while sometimes mistakenly labeled as a miniature, is a standout dwarf variety that matures to about 6-8ft tall and wide. Unlike some descriptions, this crape myrtle doesn’t feature true peach flowers; instead, the Delta Blush Crape Myrtle showcases large, rich pink blooms with a subtle peach undertone. These flowers, reaching up to 12 inches in length, are borne on bushy branches that gracefully weep under their weight.
At Southern Charm, we take pride in our commitment to vibrant color and true-to-form growth, and the Delta Blush Crape Myrtle exemplifies both. This crape myrtle will grow into a substantial, thick shrub or a small tree with light pruning. It offers a striking display with its rich pink flowers and stands out with fall foliage in shades of red, yellow, and gold. The beige and brown exfoliating bark adds an extra layer of visual interest, making the Delta Blush Crape Myrtle a versatile choice for both privacy hedges and as a specimen tree.
