Excellent Crape Myrtle for the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Shrubby,small tree with pink flowers that appear on average in
late July, reblooms until Oct. Great orange fall color. Needs occasional summer water.

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.
