Pot Size: 3 litre Price: £30.00 Description: Could not resist giving this one a go, we have had so many requests for Lagerstroemia while this seems to be the best. Performs very well in hot summer climates as the ornamental wood is ripened, while tolerating dire low temperatures, as in South Korea where we collected this seed in 2010. Where the bright pink inflorescences were still evident well into the autumn, while the bark was equally evident flaking to display the contrasting colours. Best grown in full sun, better still with a wall behind to radiate more heat, in a well drained soil capable of retaining some moisture.
