- Autumn foliage
- Summer flowering
- Beautiful bark
Crepe Myrtles are a must for every garden, giving a show all year round. Natchez is a beautiful small deciduous tree growing to approx 4-6 metres tall and 4-6 metres wide. It has dark green foliage for spring and summer and turns brilliant dark red in autumn.
During summer and autumn masses of small white flowers appear, formed in long tapered panicles covering the tree. The bark is also a feature as it ages with brown and greyish mottled smooth bark on the larger branches and trunk.
Natchez is very hardy, loving the heat. It requires full sun and prefers well drained soil but will take most soil conditions. Minimal water is needed once established.
