What is Pink Velour Crape Myrtle

The Pink Velour Crape Myrtle offers the classic pink blooms you love with a twist: deep wine-red leaves in the spring that transition to dark purplish-green in the summer, providing a perfect backdrop to its vibrant magenta flowers.

Plus, this color lasts for months…especially since the Pink Velour is drought tolerant and highly resistant to powdery mildew, which often affects other Crape varieties. And the Pink Velour is unique for its compact form, making it perfect for planting as an accent shrub or a small ornamental border. But no matter where you plant it, you get eye-catching color from July through September or even later.

How to Grow and Care for Pink Velour Crape Myrtle

Pink Velour Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica ‘Whit III’) Growing Requirements

Hardiness zone 7-10 outdoors

Planting

Plant your Pink Velour Crape Myrtle in a well-drained area with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day).

Dig a hole large enough to accommodate your tree’s root ball, place your tree, and backfill the soil. Mulch the surrounding soil to conserve moisture and keep competing growth at bay.

Watering

Only water your Crape Myrtle when your soil is dry about 2 or 3 inches down. Crape Myrtles are very drought tolerant and only need water during dry periods since they generally thrive on rainfall alone.

Fertilizing

Fertilize your Pink Velour Crape Myrtle in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer that’s high in nitrogen.
