Miniature Crape Myrtles mature from 8"-5', depending on the exact variety of course.
- We normally recommend planting miniatures 18" apart for a nice thick look. They will grow together to forms a full, thick uniform hedge.
- For a more individual plant look, plant them 3'-4' apart.
Miniatures can be planted 1'-2' away from a structure (house, etc).
Dwarf Crape Myrtles
Dwarf Crape Myrtles mature 6'-10'. Use this variety when you want to line your driveway but don't want the canopy effect.
- Space them 4'-6' apart for a thick, hedge like appearance.
- For a more individual plant look, plant them 8'-10' apart.
Plant Dwarf crape myrtles a minimum of 3ft from a structure (house, etc).
Medium& Standard (Tree) Crape Myrtles
- Medium Crape Myrtles mature 14'-18' while Standard (Tree) Crape Myrtles mature 20'-30'. Use either of these types if you would like a thick canopy of shade.
Your choiceshould be dependent on the width of the road, sidewalk and your desired effect. Plant large type crape myrtles a minimum of 6ft away from a structure (house, etc).
- To create a look where the canopies of the plants will grow together and provide shade, plant Medium Crape Myrtles 6'-10' apart, and Standard (Tree) Crape Myrtles 8'-12' apart.
