Bellini Strawberry Crape Myrtle Dwarf Shrub

The Bellini® Strawberry Crape Myrtle delivers months of coral-pink to strawberry-red blooms without heavy pruning. This dwarf shrub reaches 3 to 4 feet square, holding a neat, rounded frame that fits tight spaces. Its compact growth maintains its shape naturally, removing the need for destructive cutting while keeping walkways and foundations clean.

Plant in full sun to encourage repeat flowering on new wood through late spring and summer. Green leaves turn warm autumn colors before revealing smooth, flaky mottled bark in winter. Open clusters draw bees and butterflies, working perfectly as a low hedge, foundation anchor, border staple, or patio container feature.
