Catawba Crape Myrtle is a popular mid-size variety, reaching about 10–15 feet tall and wide with a dense, rounded shape. It bursts into bloom in midsummer with deep violet-purple flower clusters that last for weeks, followed by reddish-orange fall foliage. Its handsome, peeling bark adds winter interest and texture. Drought-tolerant and easy to maintain, this variety is ideal for planting near patios, along driveways, or in foundation beds. Its smaller size, mildew resistance, and vibrant color make it a standout in sunny Oklahoma gardens.
