Houston's Favorite Summer Tree
Crape myrtles are the perfect plant for the Houston area — they love our heat, tolerate our humidity, and reward us with months of colorful blooms when everything else is struggling. At Growers Outlet we carry a wide selection of sizes and colors to fit any landscape.
We stock dwarf varieties perfect for containers and borders, mid-size shrubs for foundation plantings, and large tree forms that provide shade and stunning summer color. Colors range from white and pink to red and deep purple.
Important note: Resist the urge to "crape murder" — severe topping damages the tree and ruins its natural form. Our staff can help you choose the right size for your space so no heavy pruning is ever needed.
