 Near East Pale Pink Crape Myrtle – Mid-season Bloomer |
| Based upon my observations in Dallas, Near East is a mid-season bloomer. It blooms well after Bashan’s Party Pink but before purple crapes such as Twilight and Muskogee. |
| Certainly, Near East is not as tall as Twilight, the largest of the purple crapes, or even Muskogee, the largest of the lavender crapes. I have noticed some nurseries indicate Near East reaches 15 to 20 feet. This is not consistent with my experience. I believe eight to ten feet in height is more accurate and a bloom time that corresponds with other vase-like bloomers such as Tonto would be a reliable guide to this stunning crape. |
Bashans Party Pink |
 Bahsans Party Pink is a pale pink crape myrtle reaching over thirty feet in height. |

Splash of Pink Crape Myrtle |
 Splash of Pink crape myrtle – vase like shape – reaching 15 – 20 feet tall. |
| Osage grows to twenty feet in Texas. It has an open branched structure leading to an arched crown in maturity. This is not what I would characterize as a pale pink, though some nurseries do. It is not the bubble gum pink of the Miami Crape Myrtle but is a definitive clear pink. |
Yuma Crape Myrtle |
| Yuma is a mildew resistant hybrids developed by the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., all of which have been given Native American tribe names. |
| Yuma Crape Myrtle has slightly pinker pannicles, but still very pale, and definitely in the pink category (not as lavender as in the Muskogee). Yuma reaches 20 feet tall. The pale pink blooms appear on top of a wide umbrella canopy and are relatively very large pannicles, while not as large as Tacoma, still, very large. |
