‘Cherry Dazzle’
‘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.
Common Name: Crapemyrtle
Hardiness Zone: 6 to 9
Height: 3-4’
Exposure: Full Sun to Partial Sun
If flowers are removed when spent and before fruit set, another flush
of flowers usually develops. In 2005, Cherry DazzleTM produced
flowers into early November in Dr. Mike Dirr’s Chapel Hill garden.
The Cherry DazzleTM makes a great container plant, shrub border
components, groupings and masses.
When planting in rolls, plant 3 to 4 ft. apart
