This species was featured on University of British Columbia's Botany Photo of the Day (BPOD) on January 19, 2008, with the photo showing the reddish peeling bark. This comment instantly sent me here to see where I could get a plant: "While not as showy in bloom as Lagerstroemia indica, the small white flowers are borne on graceful terminal panicles and **release a lovely fragrance**."

The UBC Botanical garden folk also comment that this crape myrtle (which they call 'Yakushima' ) gets along well in Victoria's in cool maritime climate.

The L. fauriei BPOD address is:
