Blooms the First Year -- from Seed!
Rapidly grows 2 feet or more in a single season!
Little Chief is nothing short of a garden marvel! Start it from seed this winter or early spring and you will be awash in a sea of bright rosy-red by summer, then treated to reddish autumn color. Reaching 2 feet or more its very first year, this dwarf Crapemyrtle is easy, beautiful, and nothing short of amazing!

Perfect for containers but also happy in the sunny garden, Little Chief sets its 1- to 2-inch brilliant blooms in large clusters that are very long-lasting. After they pass, the foliage turns shades of crimson and burgundy over several weeks. Ideal as a hedge, accent planting, or back-of-the-border sensation.

Little Chief is also available in pink and purple shades. It is very droguht-tolerant, especially after reaching its mature size of 3 to 5 feet tall, 2 to 3 feet wide. You can't go wrong with this economical shrub from seed! Pkt is 25 seeds.
