Not a Crepe Myrtle?
last year
When I bought these, they were sold as very small Crepe Myrtles. They only get about 8' or 9' inches tall with red flowers and I've had them for 15 or more years (Nashville TN). Now people are telling me there is no such thing as a Crepe Myrtle that's so small and that they are not Crepe Myrtles. Any idea what they are?
