Red Rocket produces flowers that are a true red in color. They bloom in the Summer and make a wonderful display and are the most popular of all of the red Crepe Myrtles that we sell. A mid-sized Crape Myrtle, Red Rocket will get to be 15-20' tall and from 10-15' across. The growth rate is fast. The foliage turns a lovely orange-red in the Fall. It likes full sun. Excels as a specimen plant, or for lining a property line or driveway. Hardy in Zones 7-10. These plants are about 18-24" tall (see the last photo). They are shipped bareroot with the roots wrapped and protected and they will be trimmed back about half way. We recommend potting them up for a while before planting them in the ground.
