Can you recommend a Semi-Dwarf Crape Myrtle for area code 29576 Murrells Inlet SC...max height 8ft. planted in an area that gets some shade and some sunlight? Thanks

Answer #1 · Gardenality.com's Answer · Hi Ann Marie - All crape myrtle flower heavier the more sun they get. That being said, a little shade for a short period of time during the day shouldn't effect flowering too much. The more shade the less flowers. Of all the crape myrtle I'm familiar with here's a list of the one's that would have a maximum height of around 8 feet. All of these should do fine in South Carolina.

Acoma Crape Myrtle / 6-8' H / White / Weeping habit
