The Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle is good for busy or hands-off gardeners who want a showy and dependable shrub. Also known as Lagerstroemia hybrid 'PIILAG B3,' this shrub has a lovely floral display from June through September. Purplish-pink flowers have frilly petals and bloom in clusters, creating an impressive and full display. The blooms may take on more of a red tone when summer temperatures soar. New leaves emerge red before transitioning into a deep green by summer.

Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle is enduring and can handle hot, dry summer weather while looking fabulous. This cultivar is disease and pest resistant, and deer generally leave it alone, ensuring you’ll have a dependable plant that requires very little attention.
Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle Care
Select a sunny spot for the Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle that receives at least 6 hours of daylight. Although crape myrtle can handle poor-quality soil, it prefers moist, well-drained soil with high organic content for best results. New shrubs need water several times per week during the first year, and established plants need water weekly, especially in hot climates. Apply a slow-release fertilizer annually each spring.
Pruning is not required, and Crape Myrtle will bloom without regular trims, but routine pruning encourages a full, bushy form. Prune the Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle in late winter to remove crossed branches, overgrowth, and shoots.
Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle Spacing
The lovely Enduring Fuchsia™ Crape Myrtle reaches 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. Create a hedge by spacing shrubs 4 to 6 feet apart.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
- Late winter to early spring, before new growth starts
