Thunderstruck Lavender Skies Crape Myrtle

$19.08

LATIN NAME:LAGERSTROEMIA

The Basics

Thunderstruck™ Lavender Skies™ Crape Myrtle is a striking deciduous ornamental tree known for its abundant lavender-pink blooms and dramatic, nearly black foliage. This fast-growing variety produces large clusters of flowers from summer into early fall, creating a beautiful contrast against its dark leaves. Its upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for accent plantings, privacy screens, borders, and focal points throughout the landscape. It typically reaches 12 to 15 feet in height and 8 to 10 feet in width.

The Needs

Amount of Sunlight: Prefers full sun.

Amount of Water: Requires regular watering while becoming established but is drought tolerant once mature.

Soil Conditions: Prefers well-drained soil and adapts to a variety of soil types.

Cold Hardiness Zone: 6–9

The Care

Thunderstruck™ Lavender Skies™ thrives in warm climates and benefits from a layer of mulch around the base to help retain moisture and protect the root system. Its strong resistance to powdery mildew and Cercospora leaf spot makes it easier to maintain than many traditional crape myrtle varieties. Light pruning during late winter or early spring will encourage healthy growth and maintain its attractive shape.
