Lagerstroemia indica
Purple Flower Crepe Myrtle
 
A more beautiful small tree is hard to finds than this one! This multi-branched tree is perfect for deck gardens, bonsai, or grow in the landscape as a standard. We have several growing in pots on the deck. Flowers of purple to light lavender bloom profusely from mid summer to fall. Small seed heads follow giving the tree an attractive look through winter. Brilliant green rounded leaves accent the gray-brown trunk that is smooth and mottled and gives the tree a most unique look. Prune to shape as desired or keep small.
