Lagerstroemia indica

The crape myrtle tree gives a classic sign that summer is here as the tree bursts into bloom with huge, colorful flowers. Blooms are followed by heavy seed pods that cause the branches to weep. Branches are bare from January into April. Available in single or multiple trunk specimens, some crapes are more shrubby than others and sizes can vary greatly – from 6 feet to 25 feet tall.

Height: up to 6-7′
