This dwarf variety gets it name from its bright red foliage in the spring that deepens to a rich, scarlet purple-red in the fall. It stays compact and rounded, slowly reaching 4-5' tall and 3-4' wide. Requires at least 5 hours of full sun to keep its vibrant, red tones. Does best when planted in organically rich, moist, but well-draining soil.
The 'Primavera' or "Conventional" almond is a late blooming, early producing variety. It consistently produces crops of sweet, soft-shelled nuts that are easily harvested and shelled. Quickly reaches anywhere from 15-30' tall and wide. Will need other varieties planted nearby for cross-pollination.
The 'Flavor Delight' aprium is 75% apricot and 25% plum, producing a fruit that is just the right mix of sweet and tangy. These apriums are great for jams, cobblers and fresh eating. Fruits will ripen in mid-July and produce most abundant crop when cross-pollinated. Dwarf variety will average 10-15' tall and wide and can be maintained with pruning.
This woody vine will be covered in tangerine colored blooms from late spring through mid-summer. It will quickly reach 30 feet long and is a striking display when placed on trellises or fences. Foliage turns purplish-red in the fall.
The 'Morning Calm' variety produces orange, trumpet shaped blooms with golden centers that bloom from early to late summer. It will reach 20-25' long and is perfect for trellises, archways and fences.
The 'Dragon Warrior' has dark-green foliage that is tipped with small pinecones as new growth emerges. It is a dwarf variety with an incredibly dense growth habit and will reach 2-3' tall and wide.
The 'Giokumo' is a dense, pyramidal variety that will reach 8-10' tall and 3-4' wide at maturity. It is prized for its rich green foliage that is densely packed onto branches.
The 'Celeste' fig variety is one of the most popular fig trees, due to its sweet, rich fruit that is great for fresh eating and long term storage. It is self-pollinating and fruit crop will ripen in July. The 'Celeste' grows an average of 10-15' tall and wide and requires minimal pruning. This variety is generally quite hardy, but will require winter protection in certain climates.
The 'Midnight Glow' is a compact variety that reaches 2-3' tall and wide and is great for small garden spaces. Large clusters of small, yellow flowers appear in late June and persist through summer. Bright red fruit appears in the fall, adding a striking contrast against the dark green foliage. Leaves will age from green to a purplish-red color in late fall and may persist through winter in more southern climates.
Height: 15 feet
Spread: 15 feet
Sunlight: full sun partial shade
Hardiness Zone: 6a
Other Names: Crape Myrtle, Crepe Myrtle
Description:
This exceptionally cold hardy, semi-dwarf variety is covered in frilly pink blooms in summer, followed by deep red fall foliage; a captivating focal point for the garden or border
Ornamental Features:
Hopi Crapemyrtle is clothed in stunning panicles of pink frilly flowers at the ends of the branches from early to late summer. It has attractive dark green deciduous foliage which emerges coppery-bronze in spring. The oval leaves are highly ornamental and turn dark red in fall.
Landscape Attributes:
Hopi Crapemyrtle is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Hopi Crapemyrtle is recommended for the following landscape applications:
- Accent
- Mass Planting
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing:
Hopi Crapemyrtle will grow to be about 15 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 15 feet. It has a low canopy with a typical clearance of 2 feet from the ground, and is suitable for planting under power lines. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 50 years or more.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the foliage in alkaline soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific
hybrid.
Hopi Crapemyrtle makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
The 'Pink Velour' has an upright, rounded growth habit and will reach 10-12' tall and wide at maturity. It produces large plumes of vibrant, pink blooms that persist through summer. New foliage emerges burgundy red and ages to dark green.

- General Garden Use
- Groundcover
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing:
Pocomoke Crapemyrtle will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
