About this plant

'Branca' crape myrtle produces white summer flowers above small green leaves. It is suited to a warm, sheltered position.

Its upright stems develop into a full, bushy shrub as it matures.

Best used for

Use as a patio or border focal plant with plenty of sun and winter shelter.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 20–40 cm per year Medium growth
Expected mature size 2–4 m high / 2–3 m wide

Expect around 20–40 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 2–4 m in height and 2–3 m in width. Allow room for a bushy, upright framework; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil and plenty of summer warmth. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Apply mature compost or a balanced slow-release fertiliser once in spring; protect the roots of young plants in winter. After the main frost risk has passed, shorten weak or damaged shoots to encourage flowering on new growth.
