Crape Myrtle Tree ‘Miss Sandra’ #15 Pot

The Miss Sandra Crape Myrtle is a beautiful ornamental tree known for its vibrant, deep pink blooms that appear in clusters throughout the summer, providing stunning color to any landscape. An interesting characteristic of the Miss Sandra variety is its smooth, exfoliating bark, which adds visual interest even in the winter months when the tree is not in bloom.

In southern Louisiana, the Miss Sandra Crape Myrtle typically grows to a height of 15 to 20 feet with a spread of 10 to 15 feet. It thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal blooming. This tree is well-suited for USDA zones 7-9 and is highly tolerant of heat and humidity. While it can tolerate mild frost, it’s not recommended for areas with harsh winters. Miss Sandra prefers well-drained soil and should be watered regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
