Crimson myrtle with an unusual colour
Lagerstroemia indica ‚Crimson Red‘ is a dark flowering variety of Crape Myrtle that creates a very nice contrast in your garden with its purple, crimson flowers. When the shrub first blooms, the flowers appear white at first, but after fully opening they darken and take on the striking, bright red colours. The foliage of the crab myrtle develops from spring to autumn, and the flowers can be seen from July to September.
The best location for Crimson Red
Plant the Crimson Red in a sunny, warm spot. There are few requirements for the soil, it should be well drained and not too moist. When old, the plant copes well with drought, so you will have a very low-maintenance plant. In spring, you should give the crab myrtle a heavy pruning so that it can sprout strongly, and this also encourages larger flowering plants. The flowering period requires warm temperatures. The plant has an upright and fast growth and can reach a height of 3 - 4 metres and a width of about 2 - 3 metres. The Lagerstroemia indica is suitable as a solitary plant, as a colourful hedge or as a border plant on your patio.
