Dear cmsandt - Oh I am embarassed to be TWO YEARS behind in my response! Thanks very much for sharing about the winter-over concerns! Now Sept 2020, I have pink Velour in the Front yard in front of the street-side window that IS about 8 feet or more and BLOOMED this past summer Photo from July 26,2020. I bought it from sooner plant farm in 2018 and it has done well. Lagerstroemia PINK VELOURĀ® CRAPEMYRTLE:
Shrub - Jumbo gallon Potted = (4.04 qrts / 3.82 liters)
$35.00
In The back where I have been wanting a screen inbetween my kitchen window and my neighbor;s kitchen window The Sioux - which I bought much as a much larger - more expensive and from a local nursery has NOT done as well. ( see photo of the bare sticks). I think the first winter was rough, and we have just been waiting and WAITING for the appearance of life to slowly move to the uppermost branches. I hope it stays warm enough - it is already Oct 4th - so that the whole thing will at least look like it is alive.
