A Myrtle for Colder Regions
The quintessential flowering tree has expanded its hardiness potential. With the Hopi, you’re not limited to warm zones – you can enjoy this gorgeous, pink, long-flowering tree all the way down to 0 degrees!
Soft and crinkly, the pink flowers of Hopi Crape Myrtle are massed in large clusters for an astonishing visual impact. With a striking resemblance to lilac flowers, Crape Myrtles are often referred to as the ‘lilacs of the south’ because of their affinity for hot weather. This special Myrtle breaks the boundaries!
Plus, it’s got an extra-long blooming season. You’ll get a profuse number of blooms for a full 4 months. Pink flowers burst like fireworks among rich green foliage from June through September. As if it doesn’t want to let go of the summer season, this Crape Myrtle continues to provide cheerful, glowing color whereas neighboring plants have retired their blooms.
And because this plant produces flowers on new growth, you can clip the faded blossoms to encourage a second flush of flowers. Plant a Hopi Crape Myrtle anywhere you want billowy pink splashes of color…since this Myrtle is more compact than most varieties, so you won’t have to worry about it taking over your landscape.
It’s resilient too. The Hopi Crape Myrtle was specifically bred to be resistant to disease. Crape Myrtles have earned the reputation of being susceptible to powdery mildew, a fungal disease, which is difficult to manage during hot southern summers. But the Hopi stands up to it all, resisting disease, pests, and drought with ease.
Thanks to our hard work at the nursery, you get a Hopi Crape Myrtle that’s unmatched. Unlike the Crapes you find at big-box retailers, your Hopi from Brighter Blooms is planted, grown and shipped with care, in nutrient-rich soil with its roots intact.
Now, you reap the rewards with carefree color, vibrancy, and growth that shines year after year. But don’t wait…order yours today!
Planting & Care
Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place your Hopi in the hole and make sure that the root crown (where the root ball meets the trunk) is level with the soil surface. Tamp down the soil lightly as you backfill the hole and then water after you’ve finished. Mulch the surrounding soil to conserve moisture.
2. Watering: After planting, water weekly for the first growing season. If you live in a hot and dry climate, you may need to water young trees twice or three times weekly.
If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 3 inches down for dryness. Water when the soil here is dry.
3. Fertilizing: Feed yearly with a high-nitrogen fertilizer, such as a 20-10-10 slow-release formula, in the early spring.
4. Pruning: To shape, remove all but 4 to 5 strong trunks and then remove the lateral branches around the bottom half of the tree. To encourage branching, make your cuts on the longer, thinner limbs and remove leaves growing from the trunk. Also, trim away any damaged or dead branches during the late winter.
