Delta Flame Crape Myrtle - Lagerstroemia indica 'Delec' – is a shrub that is outstanding and flamboyant, no matter the season. The glossy dark burgundy leaves provide a unique contrast to the dark red blooms that appear in the summer, making it a unique and beautiful shrub. Being disease and pest resistant, along with being heat tolerant, makes this shrub a must-have in any landscape, whether as a specimen plant or as part of a mass planting or hedge.
Delta Flame Crape Myrtle Care
Plant your Delta Flame Crape Myrtle in garden soil with good drainage. Fertilize in the spring, and water regularly until established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage re-blooming, and prune in the fall after flowering has completed.
Delta Flame Crape Myrtle Spacing
Space your Delta Flame Crape Myrtle between 4 and 6 feet apart on-center for a dense hedge. For a more casual, mass-planting or informal hedge, space your shrubs at least 7 feet apart center of the shrub to center of the next shrub.
