About this plant

Dynamite crape myrtle carries vivid red summer flower clusters over green foliage that emerges reddish.

As it matures it develops an upright, branching framework, giving the flowers a generous framework each season.

Best used for

Grow as a sunny focal shrub or small tree in a sheltered garden.

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 3–5 m high / 2–4 m wide

Expect around 20–40 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 3–5 m in height and 2–4 m in width. Allow room for an upright, branching 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.
