This plant will win your heart! A crape myrtle in full bloom in Allen the week of July 13, 2025. Catawba at Neil Sperry's house. He transplanted this giant a few years ago from a shady location.

“The lavender Muskogee crape myrtle can also be identified by its light-colored bark,” Best said. Some good examples of those are near the railroad tracks at Doty Avenue.
