Debra, the crape myrtle above is a weeping, dwarf cultivar. In this photo the plant on the left, Berry Dazzle is also a dwarf but with more traditional CM foliage and growth habit. Sweetheart Dazzle, on the right, has a very different shape and the leaves are much smaller and closer together. Both of these are fairly new introductions and both will stay small in the 2' - 3' range in the ground or even smaller in a container. I can also add that they are very hardy as they spent the winter in 4" pots out in the open during the very cold weather we had this year. The Berry has already bloomed once and I just deadheaded it in hopes of getting more flowers. Their small size makes them perfect for firring into a perennial border.

edited to add that those are 1 gallon sized pots these babies are in.
