Comments:
One of the all time favorites with its light pink flowers and weeping growth habit. It has very large flower heads and repeats bloom when these are removed as the last crapes fall from the flower heads. Sometimes three crops of blossoms can be had when frost comes late in the season. Susceptible to the usual disease and insect problems of crape myrtle.
