Lagerstroemia 'Princess Holly Ann'

'Princess Holly Ann' is a Crape Myrtle bush that produces gorgeous cherry red flowers all summer long and stunning purple, red foliage in the fall.

Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Does well in loamy, clay soils with good drainage.  Some gardeners prefer to grow these plants in somewhat the same manner as buddleias (butterfly bushes) by cutting all stems back to 8” in early spring each year. Roots will sprout new stems which typically grow 2-4’ tall (sometimes more) by the end of the growing season. Flowers appear on the new wood.
