'Tonto' is a semi-dwarf, multi-stemmed crepe myrtle hybrid prized for its vibrant fuchsia-red flowers, glossy dark green foliage, and excellent disease resistance. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, containers, and urban plantings.
Grows 8–15 feet tall and wide with a dense, rounded habit. Large panicles of intense fuchsia-red flowers bloom from mid-summer to fall. Foliage is glossy, dark green, turning maroon in fall. Bark exfoliates to show tan and cinnamon tones. Highly resistant to powdery mildew and leaf spot.
Full sun, well-drained soil. Heat and drought tolerant. Hardy in USDA zones 7–9. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and promote flowering.
Specimen, container, hedge, mass planting, street tree under power lines. Long bloom season and compact size offer versatility.
