Soft pink flowers, a balanced canopy, and a gentler presence — a versatile Crepe Myrtle ideal for gardens that want colour without overpowering the space.

  • Form: Upright with a slightly rounded canopy
  • Best for: Home gardens, residential landscapes, softer design schemes
  • Style: Elegant, approachable, and garden-friendly

Why choose ‘Biloxi’

‘Biloxi’ is a pink-flowering Crepe Myrtle that sits beautifully between bold and subtle. Its softer pink tones and slightly rounded habit make it easier to integrate into residential gardens than stronger-coloured varieties, while still delivering reliable summer impact.

For home gardeners

A forgiving, well-balanced tree that looks good even as it matures. Ideal if you want seasonal colour without the scale or intensity of larger, bolder cultivars.

For landscapers & designers

‘Biloxi’ works well in layered planting schemes where softer colour transitions matter. Its rounded form pairs naturally with lawns, perennials, and mixed borders.

For councils & projects

A dependable mid-to-large Crepe Myrtle with consistent flowering and manageable growth, suitable for streets and open-space planting where a softer visual outcome is preferred.

Size & pruning flexibility

Like all Crepe Myrtles, ‘Biloxi’ flowers on new season’s growth and tolerates pruning well. While it is often hard pruned in public settings, the best long-term form comes from selective shaping and canopy lifting.

  • Mature height (unpruned): approx. 6–8 m
  • Mature width (unpruned): approx. 5–6 m
  • Common pruned height: approx. 3–5 m
  • Pruning window: late winter to early spring

Crepe Myrtles are often heavily pruned (“crepe murder”) and still flower, but lighter, thoughtful pruning improves structure, airflow, and the overall look over time.

Planting & care

  • Sun: Full sun for best flowering and colour
  • Water: Regular watering while establishing; drought tolerant once established
  • Soil: Well-drained soil preferred; adaptable once settled
  • Maintenance: Low; responds well to seasonal feeding and pruning

Quick guide: Choose ‘Biloxi’ if you want a softer pink and an easy-to-live-with shape. Choose ‘Tuscarora’ if you want stronger colour and more visual impact.
