Thunderstruck™ Rumblin Red™ Crape Myrtle
Thunderstruck™ Rumblin Red™ Crape Myrtle — Deep Red Blooms, Bronze Foliage, All Summer Long
The Thunderstruck™ Rumblin Red™ Crape Myrtle brings something most flowering trees can't: a two-season color story told entirely in warm, dramatic tones. Deep red flower clusters blaze through the heat of summer, while the foliage itself carries a rich bronze-red hue that makes this tree striking even between bloom cycles. It's a plant that commands attention from the moment it leafs out to the last warm day of fall.
Why It Stands Out
- Deep Red Summer Blooms: Dense clusters of rich red flowers appear in midsummer and continue for months — one of the longest bloom seasons of any flowering tree.
- Distinctive Bronze Foliage: Unlike standard green-leafed crape myrtles, Rumblin Red™ carries warm bronze-red foliage throughout the season, adding color even when not in peak bloom.
- Heat & Drought Tolerant: Thrives in full sun and high heat; once established, requires minimal watering — built for hot summers.
- Pest Resistant: Naturally resistant to common crape myrtle pests including aphids and powdery mildew — less intervention, more enjoyment.
- Rich Fall Color: Foliage deepens to warm orange and red tones in autumn, extending the display well into the season.
- Compact & Versatile: Works beautifully as a specimen, in a border grouping, or in a large patio container.
Growing Guide
- Light: Full sun (minimum 6 hours; more sun = more blooms)
- Water: Regular watering until established; drought-tolerant thereafter
- Hardiness: USDA Zones 6–9
- Mature Size: 8–12 ft. tall × 6–8 ft. wide
- Bloom Time: Midsummer through fall (July–October)
- Available Sizes: 1–2 ft., 2–3 ft.
Plant it in the hottest, sunniest spot in your garden — the spot where nothing else seems to thrive. That's exactly where the Thunderstruck™ Rumblin Red™ will put on its best show.
