Lagerstroemia indica (Varieties)
Crape Myrtle, Assorted Varieties
Description
This is one of the longest blooming varieties of trees, which could be 2-4 months long. Flowers usually appear in the summer and could be red, rose, pink, purple, or white. Depending on the variety, Crape Myrtle can be a spreading shrub or upright tree. Some varieties are fast growing. Some species have exfoliating bark that exposes a lovely cinnamon or gray colored bark. This tree tends to produce suckers, so trim them off if you want to keep a tree form.
