Description

When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!

This is the single trunk version of the ‘Sioux’ Crape Myrtle, a year round color factory producing large clusters of bright pink flowers up to 16 inches long for up to 120 days during summer. Its foliage is the darkest green of any crape myrtle and turns to a handsome purple color in fall. The bark is tan in color and the twigs have a reddish color. A fine specimen tree in landscape borders, home foundation plantings and large containers.

No more problems with powdery mildew! Because Sioux is a ‘Fauriei Hybrid’, it is totally resistant to powdery mildew; an unsightly disease which shows up during summer as a white powdery substance that covers the leaves on many other types of crape myrtle.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 10 to 12 feet tall and 8 to 10 feet wide, the single trunk Sioux Crape Myrtle is an ideal selection for smaller garden spaces, and containers. It is an excellent choice for use as a specimen or accent in sunny home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also excellent for framing entryways or in groupings. Whether planted as a specimen or in groupings, this is one tree that is sure to stand out in the landscape!

Spacing: 12′ for space between plants in groupings

Growing Preferences

Sioux Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.

I ordered a 4 ft Sioux crape myrtle that I couldn’t find locally. It arrived very soon and on time. It was carefully packaged and I was so excited when I opened it and found a very healthy plant with zero damage during transport. It is now in the ground and is thriving! I will definitely buy here again. Highly recommended!———————————————-Thanks for the kind words!! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
