Product Description
Add midsummer interest with crimson buds that open to bright pink flowers with a crepe paper texture. Foliage goes through an impressive color change from season to season—starting as burgundy leaves in the spring and slowly turning a dark, purple-green and then to a dark orange in the fall. Enjoy these gorgeous flowers for a nice, long bloom season. Grey-brown bark exfoliates as it matures. Use as a focal point in any area of the landscape. Add to garden beds or use as a hedge to create a colorful screen. Pink Velour™ Crape Myrtle ships established in its own 1 gallon container. Lagerstroemia indica 'Whit III' (PP10319)
