'Princess Kylie'® is a breakthrough dwarf Crape Myrtle that brings intense magenta-pink color to the Houston landscape without taking up much room. Highly resistant to the powdery mildew often triggered by our humid nights, it thrives in our long summers. While adaptable, it requires excellent drainage. In heavy clay areas, plant high or in raised beds, as it will not tolerate sitting in water during our frequent Gulf Coast downpours.
Exposure
Full Sun (Crucial for heavy blooming)
Height x Width
2-3' Height x 2-3' Width
Water
Medium; requires regular watering until established
Zones
6 - 9
Fertilization
Use a balanced fertilizer in spring; avoid over-fertilizing to prevent leggy growth
Pruning
Lightly prune in late winter to remove any winter damage; deadhead for repeat blooms
