Lagerstroemia indica Pink

Common Name:
Crepe Myrtle 'Pink'

Description:
Lagerstroemia indica 'Pink' is a stunning deciduous small tree or large shrub, known for its abundant clusters of soft pink, crinkled, crepe-paper-like flowers that bloom from summer through early autumn. With its smooth, peeling bark and lush green foliage that turns brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow in autumn, this variety offers year-round visual interest. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, it prefers full sun and well-drained soil, displaying excellent drought tolerance once established. ‘Pink’ is perfect for feature planting, avenue planting, or as a flowering hedge, and it responds well to pruning to enhance shape and promote vigorous flowering.
