Lagerstroemia Hopi

Common Name:
Hopi Crepe Myrtle

Description:
Lagerstroemia 'Hopi' is a stunning, small to medium-sized crepe myrtle variety renowned for its vibrant pink flowers, attractive bark, and compact growth habit. It produces an abundance of crinkled, crepe-like blooms from late summer into autumn, creating a spectacular display. The foliage emerges bright green in spring, turning rich shades of orange and red in autumn before shedding to reveal its smooth, mottled bark. This deciduous tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, displaying excellent drought tolerance once established. 'Hopi' is resistant to powdery mildew, making it a low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens. It is ideal for small gardens, feature planting, or as a street tree.
