These crepe myrtles grow 6-25 ft tall. They are drought tolerant and deer resistant. The charming leaves alternate in whorles on light brown branches and then flower between the months of May and June. The beautiful crepe-like flowers last for months until the winter season, at which time they drop and leave behind the seed pods. The seeds are within the circular pods that eventually burst, leaving the inner winged-seed capsules to flutter off into the wind.
Medicinal Uses of Crepe Myrtle
Lagerstroemia Indica is used cure cuts and wounds. Crepe Myrtles have known medicinal uses in the aruveda system of medicine. It is documented that the seeds are narcotic. The bark has fever reducing properties and the leaves are purgative, making them useful for constipation. Dry leaves and bark from the tree are used to make a tea for Diabetes. Tannins from the leaves contain high amounts of the active ingredient corosolic acid. Corosolic acid has insulin-like effect, lowering glucose in the body and can delay the absorption of carbs.
How to Care for Crepe Myrtle Trees
Crepe Myrtles need 6 hours or more of sun per day. Choose your spot accordingly. Prune lightly during the winter or early spring. Avoid excessive pruning however prune for blooms the following year. They only bloom on new growth. Use slow-release fertilizer in the spring in summer months. Ensure the crepe myrtle gets a deep watering (1 full hour) once a week.
