Lagerstroemia Zuni

Description

Lagerstroemia Zuni is a flowering crape myrtle tree that brings a fresh, finished look to the landscape. It is known for purple flowers and dark green foliage. This selection works well in front yards, side yards, streetside plantings, and sunny focal areas. It keeps the landscape bright during warm weather and still looks tidy after the flowers fade.

It can grow about 10 feet or less tall and 10 feet or less wide. Bloom time is usually in mid-summer through fall. It appreciates regular watering to stay full, healthy, and attractive. It can be planted as a focal point or mixed with other selections for a fuller garden design. It is a beautiful choice for anyone who wants strong summer color and a clean finished look. Many homeowners like crape myrtles because they bring long bloom time without making the yard feel heavy. It is commonly listed for hardiness zones 6 to 10.
