The Pocomoke Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica × fauriei ‘Pocomoke’) is a compact, dwarf crape myrtle cultivar prized for its brilliant rosy-pink summer blooms and neat, mound-like form. Growing only 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it’s perfect for small gardens, borders, or container plantings, providing the beauty of larger crape myrtles in a manageable size. Its dark green foliage emerges in spring, contrasting beautifully with the vivid flowers that appear from midsummer into fall, and later turns bronze-red for a colorful autumn display. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–9, the Pocomoke thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent resistance to powdery mildew and drought once established. Low-maintenance and long-blooming, it’s an ideal choice for adding lasting color and texture to warm-season landscapes.
