Description
When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!
Unlike any other Crape myrtle we’ve seen, the flowers of the Dynamite Crape Myrtle are absolutely TRUE RED – no pink tones at all! The large and abundant dark red flowers will provide up to 100 days of explosive color during summer. But the color show doesn’t stop after the summer flowers. The handsome dark green leaves of Dynamite turn to vibrant shades of orange and red in fall contrasting nicely with the exfoliating, grey-brown bark that provides interest during winter. An excellent flowering tree that will set your yard on fire during summer!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to 15 to 20 feet tall and 10 to 15 feet wide, the Dynamite Crape Myrtle is ideal for use as a specimen tree, in groupings, or as a hedge in landscape borders. Perfect to frame the corners of homes and other buildings. Whether planted as a specimen or in groupings, this is one crape myrtle that is sure to stand out in the landscape!
Suggested Spacing: 8 to 10 feet apart for solid hedge; 20 feet apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Dynamite Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun (7 or more hours of sun per day) is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is drought tolerant when established.

I have ordered about 20 crepe myrtle shrubs and they have all arrived in beautiful shape. They were so well packed and ready to plant. Can’t wait to see them all in bloom next spring.

This is an excellent company for plant orders. They were very timely and packaged well to hold up to the rough handling of shipping. I had a surprise when I opened the box to see the pink & white blooms for a Dynamite Red Crape Myrtle. Contacted the company and had an answer within 48 hours. Apparently Reds can have these colors when exposed to varying temps. Company promised they would grow red in the future and guaranteed them or replacement to my satisfaction. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting good healthy plants shipped correctly. Prices are reasonable as well.———————————————-I have a Dynamite Red and it was white and red the first year. But now it’s red as can be. Keep us posted! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂
Arrived packed very well, healthy and strong. Adapting very well and some are already blooming.——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
