Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Zuni'
Crepe Myrtle (purple)
|
| Description | This variety can be used as a shrub or small tree. Foliage has red tinges when young and matures to a shiny dark green, with autumn foliage providing a colourful display of orange, red and maroon. Stunningly beautiful and free-flowering, masses of violet-purple flowers appear from summer through to autumn. Bark provides further interest as it peels, creating a mottled effect on the trunk. We grow this tree with a single trunk. |

| Uses | This is a great specimen tree suitable for small garden areas, as a street tree in road reserves, in centre courtyards and building entryways. A clever choice for space-limited landscapes. Seasonal beauty with smooth winter limbs and summer flower bracts. Relatively-hardy, this variety is resistant to powdery mildew and will tolerate periods of dryness once established. |
| Position & Soil | Prefers moist, well drained, slightly acidic soils, in a location receiving full sun. |
