| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Pocomoke' |
| Description | Developed by the National Arboretum, 'Pocomoke' is a breakthrough miniature crape myrtle perfect for the Houston metro area. Unlike larger varieties, it maintains a neat, multi-stemmed mounded shape that rarely exceeds 3 feet, making it ideal for tight spaces or as a colorful low hedge. Throughout the summer, it is covered in frilly rose-pink flower clusters that stand out against its dark green, glossy foliage. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew and incredibly heat-tolerant, thriving in our humid Gulf Coast climate. Because of its size, it is a top choice for permanent color in large patio containers or mixed perennial borders. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours daily for best bloom density) |
| Height x Width | 2' - 3' Height x 2' - 3' Width |
| Water | Moderate; keep consistently moist while establishing. Once mature, it is drought tolerant, though container plants will need more frequent watering during Houston summers. |
| Zones | 6 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Minimal pruning required. Lightly trim in late winter only to maintain shape or remove spent seed pods. |
| Deer Resistance | Medium |
