Those who know me very well understand that I love crepe myrtles. They are one of my favorite kinds of plants and I don't think they can be planted too frequently. Smiling I have over 50 crepe myrtles planted all over our ranch here. I even have some planted deep in the woods.

Here is one of my favorites: Biloxi.

It doesn't look its best right now given that we're in such a terrible and historic drought. Anyway, it throws huge clusters of purple blooms.

The fragrance could be described as being similar to a very powerful lilac. It's wonderful and walking past it is almost overwhelming with its amazing fragrance. Definitely in my top 10 of all the plants I have!!
