Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve

of Medford Leas

August 6, 2021 – Crape Myrtle

What would August be without the Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia species) specimens coming into bloom? They give us a vibrant shot of color throughout the Arboretum. These bursts of color start earlier in warmer climates, but the end of July to the beginning of August is typical for our Burlington County location. These blooms thrive in the heat of the summer.
