Dynamite® Crape Myrtle typically grows to a height of 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) with a spread of 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.5 meters). It has an upright growth habit and features dark green leaves that turn shades of orange and red in the fall, providing additional visual interest.
One of the standout features of Dynamite® Crape Myrtle is its abundant and vibrant red flowers. During the summer months, it produces large clusters of fiery red blossoms that cover the tree, creating a striking display of color. These flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators, making it a great choice for attracting wildlife to the garden.
Dynamite® Crape Myrtle is known for its tolerance to heat and drought once established. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. This variety is often used as a specimen plant, in borders, or as a focal point in the landscape, where its vibrant red flowers can make a bold statement.

Hahira Nursery takes pride in growing high-quality, fresh, healthy plants and ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, and with little to no damage so they are ready to be planted.
Despite all of our best efforts, once the plants have left our nursery, there are many variables outside of our control that can cause plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, or grasses to not thrive as they should. Plants are living organisms and are susceptible to a number of different environmental and care factors that are outside of our control.
Our goal is to build strong relationships with our customers and we always want to make things right, but we cannot always guarantee what happens once the plants are outside of our nursery, how you care for the plants, if they’re in the correct growing zones, weather damage, soil conditions, insect infestations, etc..
If you have any questions or concerns about a purchase you’ve made, please email us at info@hahiranursery.com and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to the best of our ability.
Please note that all living organisms are not identical and their coloring, size, and shapes may differ from what you see online in our store. Each plant has its own characteristics that are impacted by the time of year, growth cycle, weather, and other elements which will cause them to look different than their photos.
