Description:
Lagerstroemia Comanche is a stunning deciduous small tree or large shrub known for its vibrant summer blooms and attractive bark. It produces large clusters of coral-pink flowers from late summer into autumn, creating a long-lasting display of colour. The foliage emerges bright green, turning orange-red in autumn before falling, providing seasonal interest. Comanche also features smooth, peeling bark that reveals a mottled, multi-toned trunk, adding year-round visual appeal.
