| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Natchez' |
| Description | The 'Natchez' is widely considered the gold standard for white crape myrtles in the Houston metro area. This 30-gallon specimen offers an immediate architectural focal point with its rapid growth and expansive canopy. It produces long-lasting, airy clusters of pure white flowers from early summer through fall. Beyond its floral display, 'Natchez' is famous for its smooth, cinnamon-brown exfoliating bark that adds incredible texture and winter interest to the garden. Highly resistant to powdery mildew and exceptionally heat-tolerant, it is perfectly suited for our humid Gulf Coast climate and local clay soils. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours daily for maximum blooming) |
| Height x Width | 20' - 30' Height x 15' - 20' Width |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is very drought tolerant. Deep watering during the heat of a Houston summer will help support its large canopy. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter to remove seed pods or crossing branches. Avoid "topping" to preserve the natural beauty of the trunk and branch structure. |
| Deer Resistance | Medium |
