Lagerstroemia Indica PB18

Crepe Myrtle

Delicate crinkled flowers ranging in colour from pink to red or purple with a slight fragrance bloom from late summer to autumn and are occasionally followed by small brown fruit. Mature trees develop spectacular peeling bark in shades of gray brown and maroon.
Leaves are dark green and turn yellow orange or red before they fall in autumn. Great used as a small specimen tree or large shrub in a mixed shrub planting. This is an ideal tree for small gardens with its upright non-spreading habit. Can also be used as an informal screen. Best in free-draining slightly acid soil in full sun. Will tolerate clay and nutritionally poor sandy soils and are drought tolerant. Deciduous.

Mature height: 6m x 4m.
