A new red flowering Crape Myrtle tree with a more vigorous growth rate and incredible color, ‘Miss Frances’ is a taller grower to 20 feet high that features abundant large clusters of brilliant true red flowers for an extended period during summer. Mature bark is an attractive grey-orange that contrasts nicely with both the leaves and the flowers. ‘Miss Frances’ has displayed a high level of resistance to leaf spots and powdery mildew in our gardens.
