Pink Crepe Myrtle -vLagerstroemia 'Sioux'

The Sioux Pink Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica 'Sioux') is a striking and versatile deciduous shrub or small tree that offers an explosion of color and beauty throughout the summer and into the fall. Renowned for its vibrant pink blossoms, it is a garden favorite, adding color to any landscape. This variety typically reaches 10 to 15 feet, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or as a featured plant in more significant landscapes.

Pink Crepe Myrtle Has an Extended Bloom Cycle

From midsummer to early fall, this plant is adorned with clusters of bright pink flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The blossoms are arranged in large panicles, creating a stunning contrast against the plant’s dark green foliage. The leaves take on a reddish-bronze hue as the seasons change, providing additional seasonal interest.

This Flowering Shrub is Valued for its Hardiness

Once established, it thrives in USDA hardiness zones 6 through 9, tolerating both heat and drought conditions. This variety prefers full sun to achieve its best flowering potential but can handle partial shade. It’s also highly resistant to common ailments, such as powdery mildew and leaf spot, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners.

The tree is often used in various landscape applications, from being a focal point in a mixed border to serving as a flowering hedge or privacy screen. Its moderate growth rate and upright, vase-like shape make it easy to manage with minimal pruning. 

Its smooth, exfoliating bark adds texture and interest 

Whether planted as a standalone specimen or in a group, the Sioux Pink Crepe Myrtle is a beautiful addition to any garden.

How fast does it grow?

What's special about it is that it's a vigorous tree that can develop as much as 1-2 feet a year under the right circumstances. Cared for correctly, it will achieve its natural size of 10 - 20 ft within a few years. 

What are the benefits of it? 

This is a beautiful tree prized for its attractive pink flowers that may bloom from summer through the fall. It also forms interest throughout the year through its colorful bark. Although it may be attacked by some diseases, such as powdery mildew, it is easy to maintain in landscapes. 

Where does it grow best? 

It needs full sun and fertile soils and therefore does best in gardens, parks or streets. It too does best in USDA hardiness zones 6-9 and does extremely well in the hot, somewhat desiccated environment. 

What type of fertilizer is appropriate for it? 

Applying an organic, controlled-release fertilizer with the N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 or 12-4-8 in late winter will help encourage growth and brilliant flowering. It is important not to overdo with fertilizing, this is the main reason you get plants that produce more foliage at the cost of flowers. 

What is the Lifespan of it 

Under the perfect conditions, the pink crepe myrtle can live for around 20-30 years or longer. However, the lifespan will mostly depend on environmental factors and the care of the plant.

Sioux Pink Crepe Myrtle thrives in well-drained soil and needs regular watering, especially during dry periods. Prune in late winter or early spring to preserve shape and release dead wood. In spring, apply a balanced fertilizer for optimal growth and blooms.

Plant Reproduction icon

Plant Reproduction

Red Crepe Myrtle spreads via seeds and root suckers.

Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
