Introducing the ultra-compact, micro-mini, Ruby 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 bright ruby red flowers. Ruby 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 touch brilliant red to their garden but have limited space.
Derived from the smallest of crape myrtles, the Chickasaw , the Ruby Bijou Micro Mini™ boasts tiny ruby red flower clusters that bloom from early summer well into fall. Bred for color, toughness, disease and insect resistance, the tiny Ruby Bijou Micro Mini™ crape myrtle is perfect for shrub plantings, borders, growing in pots or even as a small hedge. Often initially blooming white in spring (see pictures), the flowers turn vivid ruby red as they mature, adding to its seasonal interest.
With the upright growth pattern of Ruby Bijou Micro Mini™, tiny leaves and lilliputian flowers, this rare specimen shrub is sure to add depth of character to any landscape. The fall foliage 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.
