Ornamental Qualities

Bellini® Raspberry Crapemyrtle is clothed in stunning panicles of rose frilly flowers with red overtones at the ends of the branches from late spring to late summer | which emerge from distinctive dark red flower buds. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The glosy oval leaves turn orange and yellow in fall.

Planting and Growing

Bellini® Raspberry Crapemyrtle will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity | with a spread of 4 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.

This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions | and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. To help this plant achive its best flowering performance | periodically apply a flower-boosting fertilizer from early spring through into the active growing season. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich | acidic soils to ensure success | and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
