Crape Myrtle 'Hopi'

About this plant

The 'Hopi' Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Hopi') is a spectacular deciduous ornamental tree, celebrated for its prolific clusters of bright, crinkled pink flowers that bloom in summer and often continue into fall. Its handsome, exfoliating bark provides year-round interest, displaying a mosaic of cinnamon, brown, and gray. Hardy and adaptable, 'Hopi' is a moderate-growing, mid-sized cultivar, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, as a specimen plant, in mixed borders, or even in large containers. Its mildew resistance and low maintenance appeal to both novice and experienced gardeners seeking reliable beauty. Beyond its floral display, the foliage transitions to attractive orange and red hues in autumn, offering multi-seasonal appeal. This cultivar is a true standout, providing both a generous summer show and enduring structural interest.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning to maintain shape and encourage new blooms. Prune in late winter or early spring just before new growth emerges. Remove spent flowers to promote additional blooming. Fertilize annually in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer.
