Love my Tonto Crepe Myrtle
I was so excited to receive my beautiful tree she is planted and I am eagerly waiting to see it grow It did come very well packaged no complaints on my tree
Love of Crepe Myrtles!
I didn't realize there was a cold hardy Crepe Myrtle variety, until I visited the Brighter Blooms website. So I ordered. It arrived in beautiful condition, and much larger than expected. I cannot wait to see it bloom! In California we had several crepe myrtles, but they are not readily available in WA state. Brighter Blooms was a great find for this gal, and I am hooked!
Tonto Good!
One was a better specimen than the other, but both are looking awesome with some TLC. Very happy with these plants, I know they will be the envy of the neighborhood in a few years.
came fast and well packed,
came fast and well packed, planted the day od selivery and is already growing
Arrived in great shape
After 5 days on a Fed EX truck, I did not have high hopes my crepe myrtle would arrive in good shape. I changed my mind as soon as I opened the box. Very good packaging and it arrived in very good shape. It did need to be planted immediately with a good drink of water. In 2 days it had flowers all over. The price was a bit high for a crepe myrtle that size but I couldn't find a Tonto anywhere in my area. I recommend buying from BrighterBlooms.
