Description
When it comes to flowering trees, there’s simply no others more showy than Crape Myrtles. They bloom for up to 100 days during summer, when there are few other trees and shrubs providing that service in the landscape. Colorful fall foliage and attractive exfoliating bark in winter enhance their overall appeal. It’s no wonder they are so wildly popular among designers and gardeners!
The latest introduction to the Delta Crape Myrtle Series, ‘Delta Fusion’ is a large shrub or small tree that has the perfect combination of foliage and bloom color. In summer, and reblooming well into fall, Delta Fusion produces abundant clusters of hot pink flowers that contrast magnificently with the deep burgundy leaves. You’ll be happy to know that the dark leaf color does not fade in summer! It’s smaller size from 8 to 12 feet tall and only 4 to 6 feet wide make Delta Fusion a good fit for smaller landscape spaces, home foundation planting, and containers.Â
Landscape & Garden Uses
With an upright habit 8 to 12 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, the Delta Fusion Crape Myrtle is an ideal selection for smaller garden spaces and containers. It can be grown as a shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a very attractive small tree, making it an excellent choice for use as a specimen or accent in sunny home foundation plantings or landscape borders. Also makes a very colorful hedge and is spectacular in groupings. Whether planted as a specimen or in groupings, this is one plant that is sure to stand out in the landscape!
Suggested Spacing:Â 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between trees
Growing Preferences
The Delta Fusion Crape Myrtle is very easy to grow. It is not picky about soil type provided the soil is well-drained. A moist but well-drained soil of average fertility is preferred. Full sun is preferred and results in heavier flower production. Light shade is tolerated but flowering will be diminished in more shade. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is quite drought tolerant when established.

My 3 plants arrived in DC by Fed Ex in great shape, and on time (6 days afer the “delayed delivery” date I’d chosen). My garderner said they were well-packed and healthy, not dry or crushed. I appreciated the detailed planting instructions online. I bought a Delta Fusion crepe myrtle, Bananappeal, and Gold Dust Aucuba. I found Wilson Bros. on a site that recommended online nurseries and am really happy that I chose them over Sooners in OK. I’m so glad they are here and now I hope I can keep them growing!—————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
