The Red Rocket Crape Myrtle is one of the fastest growing of the Crape Myrtles, often growing as much as 5 feet or more per year depending on growing conditions (based on trees that have been pruned). The most beautiful of all the true red flowering Crape Myrtles with an abundant display of almost iridescent red blossoms from early July to September.

 

With these prices you can afford to line your drive for beautiful summer delight with this flowering tree. Planting the Red Rocket Crape Myrtles in odd numbers for groupings, such as 3 or 5 plants per group, can make for a wonderfully striking display. The Red Rocket variety is highly mildew resistant and its dark green foliage sets off the true red blooms.

It will reach a mature height at 20 to 30 foot with a 10 to 15 foot spread. So if planting your Red Rocket Crape Myrtles as a screen, you will want to space them approximately 8 to 10 feet apart.

Easy to plant, and easy to grow! 

Growing Crape Myrtles Tip: plant in full sun for optimum flowering. They can be fussy flowering trees. If they receive any blocking from the sun for several hours during the day, such as a building or larger tree, it is likely to inhibit their blooming.
