The 'Tonto' crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia x 'Tonto') is a compact, deciduous shrub or small tree, typically growing 8–12 feet tall and 6–10 feet wide with a rounded, multi-stemmed habit. Renowned for its vibrant, dark watermelon-red to fuchsia-pink summer blooms, it features dark green foliage that turns brilliant red in autumn.
