Cherry Mocha Crape Myrtle

Cherry Mocha Crape Myrtle combines impactful foliage with vivid blooms in a smaller scale. Its leaves emerge dark green and stay dark through the season, creating strong contrast for the cherry-red flower clusters that bloom throughout the summer. This variety reaches 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide, holding a dense, upright shape that fits well in residential borders or commercial sites with limited space. The exfoliating bark adds additional winter texture, making it a four-season presence. Its colorful foliage and long-lasting blooms make it a striking choice for layered planting or as a midsize anchor in mixed beds.
