Lagerstroemia Crimson Red

“Crimson Red” is a small, deciduous tree, grown for its lovely flowers, foliage, and great form. It produces clusters of ruffled, crimson red flowers through summer in such abundance, they literally transform the plant. The showy flowers are complemented with lush foliage which is a very dark red-purple, bordering on black. The foliage develops orange and red tones in autumn before falling. It grows with an upright habit to produce a compact and rounded crown as it reaches 3 m tall and 2.5 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this Crepe Myrtle are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry. “Crimson Red” is commonly grown as a small specimen tree, used in street or avenue plantings, included in courtyard or cottage gardens, trimmed into a hedge, or added to a mixed planting. This is a colourful plant that will bring a lot of pleasure.
