Princess Holly Ann Crape Myrtle is a dwarf deciduous shrub with an upright arching crown and exfoliating bark. The oval dark green leaves emerge copper-red and turn purple-red to orange in fall. The heavy blooms of cherry red panicles smother the branches from summer into fall. Best color in full sun and rich, well-drained acidic soil. Princess Holly Ann is drought tolerant and highly disease resistant.
