Early Bird White Crape Myrtle - Lagerstroemia hybrid 'JD900' PP22698 – is a shrub that is long-blooming and beautiful. In the late spring (often earlier than most other crape myrtles) this shrub is covered in delicate white flowers that continue blooming through the fall. Glossy green leaves turn an attractive yellow in the autumn, and the graceful stems provide structure in the winter. Deer resistant and relatively pest resistant, this shrub is excellent as a specimen plant or as a part of a hedge.

Early Bird White Crape Myrtle Care

Prune your Early Bird White Crape Myrtle following the bloom season. Plant in well-drained soil and water until established. For best flowering, consider a slow- release fertilizer in the spring.

Early Bird White Crape Myrtle Spacing

For a graceful hedge, plant Early Bird White Crape Myrtle between 3 and 4 feet on center. For a foundational planting, space the shrubs at least 5 feet center-to- center.

    Will use Plant Addicts from now on!

    Posted by Cynthia W Russ on Jul 20, 2021

    From now on I will use Plant Addicts for all my online plant purchases. My plant arrived in perfect condition, ready to bloom and has thrived ever since. Also, it was the size depicted not like the plants I have gotten from other online companies. Thank you Plant Addicts for such a pleasant experience. From Texas

    cool plants

    Posted by Madelyn on Mar 24, 2019

    I had never heard of a crape myrtle before. So when I saw this on the site, I just had to order one to give it a try. I must say, this is pretty awesome! I wish I would have found this before now! I'm going to be ordering in different colors this year to add to my collection for sure!

    Expensive

    Posted by Sean on Jan 28, 2018

    I thought these were really expensive. Hopefully I'm' not disappointed with my purchase or I will be one unhappy customer.

    hot summers

    Posted by Marissa on Oct 13, 2017

    I bought 3 of these to create a border hedge in my back yard. I have killed almost everything I've tried to grow, so I thought I would give these a try as a friend of mine told me they were pretty hardy. The plants are pretty small right now, so I don't have a complete hedge yet, but I'm happy with my decision so far.
