A hybrid of the Lagerstroemia indica, produced my the Nation Arboretum in Washington, D.C. Has pink flowers with a similiar appearence of the L. indica. It is a bonsai, or "tree" crape reaching over 20 + feet. Leaves are yellow, orange, and red in fall. Blooms until frost in the southern U.S. Grows best in zones 7a -10, but is hardy in zone 6b! Like most tree Crapes, suckers are trimmed from the base and pulled from the ground, to give it that bonsai look.
