Beautiful. Up here, ours bloom in Aug-Sept. The past winter was so severe and prolonged, many were killed back to the ground. Mid-Pa is about the top northern limit for even the few very hardy crape myrtles (Lagerstroemia indica) to survive a bad winter. USDA Zone 7-9 is where they comfortably live.

They really like heat to blossom, but winter well.
