Description
Of all the dwarf crape myrtles growing in our gardens Pocomoke is the smallest. It grows in a low mound to only 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide at maturity. Released by the U.S. National Arboretum in 1998, this Fauriei Hybrid cultivar features eye-catching deep rose-pink flowers from mid to late summer on dense, compact mounds of dark green foliage. Pocomoke Dwarf Crape Myrtle is a showstopper plant for your garden!
About Fauriei Hybrid Crape Myrtles
In 1959, Dr. Donald Egolf began a crape myrtle research project at the U.S. National Arboretum to develop crape myrtles that were disease resistant, hardy, true to flower color, and that would repeat bloom.
Germplasm of Lagerstroemia fauriei was collected in Japan by Dr. John Creech and distributed to the U.S. National Arboretum. This material was discovered to be resistant to powdery mildew; a disease known to inflict many varieties of crape myrtle, and to possess a unique, heritable, dark brown trunk color. L. fauriei was incorporated into the research program with great success. Since then, twenty “Fauriei Hybrid” crapemyrtle cultivars have been released!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing only 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, Pocomoke is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or mass plantings in sunny landscape borders and home foundation plantings. Excellent as a solor or combined with other plants in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to pink color gardens, perennial gardens, rock gardens and cottage gardens.
Spacing Recommendations: 2 to 2.5 apart for borders or mass plantings, 5 feet or more apart for space between plants.
How To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area
How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Crape Myrtle variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
The Pocomoke Dwarf Crape Myrtle grows well most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and as much sun as you can provide. No pruning necessary however plants can be lightly seared in late winter for shaping purposes.

I ordered 4 crape myrtle 1-gallon pots during the winter season. When the plants arrived in a very well packaged container, they were dormant. This spring all of the plants sprung their green leaves. They are located in a sunny location next to the house foundation. I tried attaching a picture, but the upload software gave an error. Good Luck in your decision.————————————————————Your photo came through just fine. We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
