‘Cherry Dazzle’ is the first true red compact crapemyrtle, and it will truly Dazzle
you! Shiny red buds open to dazzling, cherry red flowers in July-August and
blooms are produced from summer into fall. The emerging bronze leaves turn dark
green and eventually turn orange-red-purple in autumn. Leaves are highly resistant
to mildew and Cercospora leaf spot. ‘Cherry Dazzle’ has a restrained, compact,
mounded habit that is 3 to 4 feet high and wide in 4 to 5 years.
Try container planting in colder zones for a beautiful look all summer
long!
Deadheading will encourage reblooming from summer to fall

Cherry Dazzle® Crapemyrtles - Care and Planting
|
The Cherry Dazzle® dwarf crapemyrtle is a true gardener's plant with attributes that make it easy to grow. Plant
in a full sun area for the best bloom performance and foliage color. Looks great as a border, mass planting, or part
of a perennial garden. Also try them in containers with annuals and perennials. Deadheading will encourage
reblooming from summer to fall.
Planting Guide
Dig a planting hole twice as large as the root ball.
· Remove plant from container and place in planting hole.
· Level top of root ball with the ground.
· Backfill.
· Water.
· Mulch.
· Keep moist until established.
Pruning
Pruning is not required as the Razzle Dazzle® crapemyrtles keep a good natural form, though deadheading is
recommended to encourage reblooming. If you need to prune to maintain shape or size, it is best to prune after
the plant is in dormancy, usually late winter to early spring.

Container Planting for Northern Areas
(Colder than Zone 6) Try container planting in colder zones for a beautiful summer combination with grasses,
annuals or perennials. Simply bring the container into a garage or basement during the cold months allowing the
plant to go dormant during the winter. Keep moderately moist but well drained during this period (just enough to
keep the roots semi-moist). Place the container outside again when temperatures rise above freezing and your
plant will be ready for new spring growth.
