Pink Crepe Myrtle

Pink Crepe Myrtle - Lagerstroemia Indica

The Pink Crape Myrtle is a drought-tolerant, flowering, deciduous tree that provides a long-lasting pop of color from early summer through fall. Its pink flowers are the focal point of this widely soil adaptable tree. Heights range anywhere from 10 - 20 feet with a spread of 6 - 8 feet.

A sun-loving species, the Pink Crape Myrtle grows quickly and requires little care. In winter, when blooms have faded, its bright summer colors give way to an interesting pallet of neutral hues with the exposure of small brown fruits and an attractive self-exfoliating bark.
