This will  produce a beautiful, true bright cherry red bloom from the beginning of July all the way through September. 

That’s 100 full days of color.  Its dark green foliage really makes the red blooms come to life.
 
In Spring, the new foliage pushes out a deep crimson red changing over to dark green. In Fall, the foliage will turn bright orange and red .
 
The smooth, mottled bark, meanwhile, adds interest to the winter garden with shades of orange and brown.

Medicinal use of Crepe Myrtle: 

The stem bark is febrifuge, stimulant and styptic. The bark, flowers and leaves are considered to be hydrogogue and a drastic purgative. A paste of the flowers is applied externally to cuts and wounds. The root is astringent, detoxicant and diuretic. A decoction of the flowers is used in the treatment of colds.
