First identified on the Japanese island of Yakushima in 1956, this rare Crape Myrtle is truly a work of art. Beyond its gorgeous 25 ft umbrella canopy and its swaths of small, fragrant white flowers, it is the exfoliating bark that really steals the show. Townhouse begins painting its trunk in shades of cinnamon and mahogany at around 4 to 5 years. The color spectacle doesn’t stop there, as autumn brings glowing golden to orange leaves. This myrtle is also fantastically disease-resistant. To help this budding artist thrive, give it a bright spotlight in the sun and shower it with consistent praise (and summer water) for the first several years. As it gains confidence (and roots), you can reduce it to a few solid soaks in the hotter months.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
