Lagerstoemia 'Tuscarora' (Crepe Myrtle) 14cm

Lagerstoemia indica x L. fauriei 'Tuscarora'

(Crepe Myrtle)

A mildew resistant hybrid forming an upright, v-shaped tree with pretty crepe-paper flowers. 

A superb deciduous multi-stemmed small tree. Dar bronze foliage turns orange to russet-red shades during autumn. Smooth grey bark that, with age, flakes to show puce underbark gives a mottled effect. Long tapered panicles of watermelon pink flowers. 

Prefers a well-drained rich soil. Tolerates dry periods once established. Trim spent flowers to encourage second flush.
