Violetpretty, there are two types of crapemyrtles which will grow in the northern part of the South (which weather includes my part of the country), but I just can't think of the name. They are the dark pink variety, that I remember.
ETA: Both the Baton Rouge and Sacramento types of crape myrtle will grow in PA. They're both a deep red/fuschia shade.

Here in Tally you'll see crape myrtles in red, fuschia, purple, pink, and white. We have none in our yard right now, but have a couple of Southern Magnolias, an Oriental Magnolia, at least one dogwood and a couple of of redbuds in addition to a miniature gardenia, miniature hydrangeas and a number of tea olives that are getting removed this fall and replaced with azaleas.
