The Fastest-Growing Crape Myrtle + True Red Blooms
Why Red Rocket Crape Myrtle Trees?
Just like its name suggests, the Red Rocket Crape Myrtle Tree shoots up like a rocket, growing up to 5 feet or more in only one year. Plus, it delivers bright red flowers from early July to September.
That’s 100 full days of color. And the color couldn’t be more effortless because the Red Rocket is also:
- Highly drought tolerant, meaning it can thrive on rainfall alone.
- Mildew resistant, standing up to disease like no other Crape can.
- Cold hardy, handling frigid temperatures down to 0 degrees with ease.
You get all of this and one of the truest red blooms on the market. The Red Rocket Crape Myrtle begins the season with a light red flower that ages to deep crimson red. And each year, it delivers a reliable, eye-catching color progression.

Red Rocket
Great specimen. Well done 👍
Nice trees, GREAT customer service.
While I haven't put my Red Rocket in the ground yet, I have to praise FTG for having excellent customer service! I mistakenly received a single-trunk RR instead of the multi-trunk I had ordered to match my other crapes, and the team was super-quick to replace my plant with the correct one - and let me keep the single-trunk as a gift! Both trees look to be in excellent shape, and I'm excited to see them grow (albeit in different locations, since I gifted the single-trunk to a neighbor).
Love our Red Rocket Crape MYRTLE
I purchased this tree last March 2023 and had never purchased on-line plants before. The tree came well packaged and healthy. It was almost two weeks before we got it planted, but we kept it watered and protected on our front porch. I couldn’t help but wonder how fast it would grow and wasn’t expecting flowers the first year. What a surprise on both counts! It tripled in size and had a beautiful display of flowers. I purchased other plants and bushes as well and they all are thriving, growing and had blooms as well. I definitely will be back to purchase more this year. Wish you had our Crape Myrtle in stock as I would have purchased another one today. Guess I will look at your peach trees instead. Love your company 👍
