Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Biloxi'

Common name: Biloxi Crepe Myrtle

Description: The Biloxi Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x L. fauriei 'Biloxi') is a deciduous small tree renowned for its long-lasting display of pale pink flowers during summer and early autumn. Its attractive, exfoliating bark reveals a cinnamon-coloured underbark, providing year-round visual interest. In autumn, the dark green foliage transitions to vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow. This cultivar is well-suited to Melbourne's climate, thriving in full sun and well-drained soils. It exhibits excellent resistance to powdery mildew and is moderately drought-tolerant once established. The Biloxi Crepe Myrtle is an excellent choice for small gardens, street plantings, or as a feature tree in landscapes.
