Although the Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle is compact in size, this perennial shrub delivers a dazzling floral display. The Lagerstroemia indica 'Bellaggua' has light pink flowers that bloom in rounded clusters. The flowers are often light pink near the base and dark pink near the tips. The ruffled blooms create a lovely texture and are offset by glossy green ovate foliage with smooth edges.

The low form of the Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle is excellent for a foundation planting or a border along a driveway or deck. This shrub can divide and define an outdoor area without blocking visibility. It is resistant to powdery mildew and can handle intense summer temperatures and humidity while still looking fantastic. This shrub is also deer resistant, making it a good choice for areas with a high deer density. Grow the Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle in zones 5 through 9.

Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle Care

Situate the Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle in full sun because this beauty needs at least 6 hours of sunlight to thrive. Use fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. Once established, this shrub is drought-tolerant, but provides the best bloom display with water during a dry period. Fertilize annually each spring to support continued growth.

Prune in late winter to shape the shrub. Routine pruning keeps the plant looking full and bushy. Apply a thick layer of mulch each fall to protect the roots from chilly winter temperatures.

Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle Spacing

Mature Bellini Guava Crape Myrtle shrubs reach 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Space shrubs 3 to 4 feet apart to create a dense, continuous planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
