Common Name:
Dwarf White Crepe Myrtle
Description:
Lagerstroemia indica 'Dwarf White' is a compact and elegant crepe myrtle variety, prized for its crisp white flowers, smooth bark, and striking seasonal foliage. Blooming from summer into autumn, this deciduous shrub or small tree produces clusters of delicate, crepe-like flowers that contrast beautifully against its rich green leaves. In autumn, the foliage turns shades of orange and red before shedding, revealing its attractive mottled bark. This hardy plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent drought tolerance once established. It is resistant to powdery mildew, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardens. Perfect for small spaces, feature planting, hedging, or container growing.
