Description

One of the most stunningly colorful summer-flowering shrubs in our gardens and truly a sight to behold, ‘Berry Dazzle’ is one of our favorites out of the Dazzle Dwarf Crape Myrtle Series developed by the Michael Dirr Breeding Program at the University of Georgia. The deep green foliage of Berry Dazzle becomes literally covered by large, intense fuchsia-purple flower clusters in summer. Another fine attribute is the handsome burgundy-red fall foliage.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, Berry Dazzle Crape is an ideal selection for an accent or specimen in smaller garden spaces or as a stand alone in containers, which can conveniently be brought indoors for overwintering by those of you who garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 6a. In larger landscape spaces Cherry Dazzle is outstanding in small to large groupings or as a colorful hedge.

Suggested Spacing: 3′ for hedges, 6′ or for space between plants

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

Dazzle Dwarf Crape Myrtles are exceptionally easy to grow and maintain when planted right and in the right spot. They’re not too picky about soil type however prefer a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and as much sun as you can give them. Light shade is tolerated but flowering is diminished with more shade. Maintenance is minimal, with very little if any pruning required for plants to maintain density and a nice form. That said, spent flowers can be removed to encourage a possible second flush of flowers. A light pruning before leaves emerge in early spring can help to maintain a more dense shrub. When established, plants are quite drought tolerant; only requiring supplemental water during prolonged dry periods during summer. As with all other crape myrtle, deer won’t touch the Dazzles.

The flowers were beautiful and plentiful.I had long admired larger plants but I am a city gardener with no yard so this potted plant is perfect.——————————–Hi SusanAnne, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Berry Dazzle Dwarf Crape Myrtle.

In early spring purchased two of these and was pleased with the size and quality of both plants. About three weeks later placed order for a dozen more and all plants are looking great. Highly recommend. ——————- WBG Reply: Hi Gray – Thanks for your review of the Berry Dazzle Crape Myrtle and the compliments. It makes everything we do even more worth the while!

The three Berry Dazzles I ordered arrived promptly and in very good condition. They were packed well in a heavy-duty carton, and were easy to plant. None were pot-bound. All are looking quite healthy in my garden now. Of course, it’s too early to know how they will bloom, but I’d say their chances are quite good. ———————— WBG Reply: Hi Carole – Thanks so much for taking time to provide your review of the Berry Dazzle Dwarf Crape Myrtle. Glad to hear they’re doing well in your garden and we hope you enjoy them for years to come. It’s the middle of May here in north-central Georgia and, with the exception of the Early Bird Crape Myrtles, crape myrtles have yet to start producing flower buds…so maybe you’ll get to see at least a few blooms this summer on your new plant. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can do for you. We’re at your service! – Brent | Wilson Bros Gardens
