What is the best red Crape Myrtle for Florida climates?

Question

I'm trying to find a good red Crape Myrtle for my front yard. I'm in a zone 9. Does anyone have any experience with red Crape Myrtle's here, or any recommendations for or against a particular red Crape?

Answer 1

The crape myrtle called "Red Rocket" does very well in zone 9. I'm in zone 9 too and in the town nearest me they have them growing in a neighborhood and they're gorgeous each year.
