What is the fastest growing flowering tree?
With 1 to 2 feet of growth each year and blooms appearing 12 to 24 months after planting, colorful crepe myrtle trees (Lagerstroemia) offer a quick return on your gardening investment. Crepe myrtles are prized for their long-lasting summer blooms, which come in shades of pink, red, white, and purple, says Herms. Crape myrtle is a popular choice for those looking for extended periods of color, as they bloom long into the summer with admired flower clusters and beautiful foliage and bark. They thrive in heat and humidity, making them drought tolerant, and even when stressed, they will continue to bloom.
