The story

The hybrid that shrugged off mildew.

A hybrid from the U.S. National Arboretum, bred with Lagerstroemia fauriei for resistance to powdery mildew. Dark coral-pink flowers run from summer into fall, followed by orange-red leaves and mottled, peeling bark. It grows into a vase-shaped small tree.

Light

Full sun.

Water

Weekly the first summer. Drought tolerant after that.

Planting

Well-drained soil, any pH. Plant in spring or fall.

Long bloom, good bark and fall color, with fewer problems than older crapes.
