Comments (2)I don't know about crepy or crepe myrtles, but there are crape myrtles that come pretty close to what you want. __ 'Catawba' grows around 12 to 15 feet tall, has relatively dark violet-purple flowers, and has good powdery mildew resistance. 'Zuni' grows 9 to 12 feet tall, has medium purple flowers, and has excellent powdery mildew resistance. __ 'Christiana' grows around 8 to 10 feet tall, has relatively dark red flowers, and has fair powdery mildew resistance. 'Mandi' grows around 6 to 12 feet tall, has red flowers, and has fair powdery mildew resistance. 'Whit II' (Dynamite) grows around 15 feet tall, has cherry-red flowers, and has excellent powdery mildew resistance. 'Whit IV' (Red Rocket) grows around 15 feet tall, has cherry-red flowers, and has excellent powdery mildew and anthracnose resistance. 'Whit VII' (Siren Red) grows around 10 feet tall, has oxblood-red flowers, and has excellent powdery mildew resistance....See MoreNicotiana 'Perfume Deep Purple'
Comments (4)In so Cal, unlike most of the rest of the country, we have warm season annuals and cool season annuals. Nicotiana is a warm-season one, so wait until late winter. Cool season annuals are pansies, stock, snap dragons, etc. Warm season annuals are marigolds, zinnias, cosmos, etc. Most of the books and seed companies and magazines and the like are NOT here in Southern California, so the seed packages say something like "Seed as early as soil can be worked in spring..." To which we say, "Huh?" Because soil is always workable here. Have a read over at the Pat Welsh site, get one of her books at the library, or the Robert Smaus classic, "52 weeks in the CA Garden", and that will give you an excellent basis for gardening very successfully in RSM.
