Description

Lagerstroemia indica ‘Purple’, commonly known as purple crape myrtle, is a classic ornamental small tree or large shrub prized for its long-lasting summer display of rich purple flower clusters, handsome multi-stemmed form, and exceptional multi-season interest. Blooming from early to mid-summer through late summer, its vibrant crepe-textured flowers appear after many spring-flowering trees have finished, making it a cornerstone plant for warm-climate landscapes. Native to Asia and introduced to the West in the 18th century, Lagerstroemia indica has become a defining feature of Southern gardens due to its heat tolerance, drought adaptability once established, and striking exfoliating bark that reveals mottled shades of tan, gray, and cinnamon in winter. In autumn, foliage often transitions to attractive shades of red, orange, or yellow, extending ornamental value beyond the flowering season. Widely planted as a street tree, specimen, or flowering accent, purple-flowering selections of crape myrtle are valued for their bold color, refined branching structure, and reliable performance in urban and residential landscapes alike.

Purple blooms add vibrant color to any landscape.
Low-maintenance tree perfect for ornamental purposes.
Belongs to the Lagerstroemia Indica species, known for its beauty.
