About Crape Myrtle Trees in Houston
Crape Myrtle is Houston's signature summer-blooming ornamental tree, and at Bill Bownds Nursery, we stock the finest container-grown specimens available in the Gulf Coast region.
Native to Southeast Asia but perfectly adapted to Houston's climate, Lagerstroemia indica delivers what few other ornamental trees can: three to four months of continuous color from June through September. While other flowering trees have finished their show by May, Crape Myrtles are just getting started — making them the undisputed stars of the summer landscape.
At our Katy nursery, we grow Crape Myrtles in containers from 15-gallon to 30-gallon sizes. Our container-grown stock provides two critical advantages over field-dug specimens. First, container trees establish immediately without the root loss that cripples field-dug plants during Houston's brutal summers. Second, you get to see the exact bloom color before you buy — no guessing whether that 'pink' variety will turn out magenta or pale blush.
Crape Myrtle's distinctive smooth bark exfoliates in thin strips, revealing cinnamon-brown inner bark that provides winter interest when most trees are bare. This multi-season appeal — brilliant summer flowers, autumn foliage in shades of orange and red, and striking winter bark — makes Crape Myrtle one of the smartest investments in ornamental landscaping.
Houston's full sun and long growing season are ideal for Crape Myrtle. The key to explosive blooming is sunlight — eight or more hours daily produces the densest flower clusters. Our Katy location provides exactly the right conditions for growing vigorous, heavily blooming specimens.
Available colors at Bill Bownds Nursery include Natchez white, Tuscarora coral-pink, Dynamite red, Muskogee lavender, and Biloxi true pink. Each variety offers different mature heights, from compact 6-foot shrubs to 25-foot tree-form specimens, allowing precise matching to your landscape scale.
Whether you're adding a splash of summer color to a residential garden, lining a commercial property with reliable bloomers, or creating a poolside focal point, our Crape Myrtles deliver nursery-fresh quality backed by over 40 years of Houston growing experience.
