Lagerstroemia indica

White Crepe Myrtle

Price on application

Ex-ground specimens are quoted individually: the tree, the lift, delivery and craneage assessed for your site.

This white-flowering crepe myrtle, Lagerstroemia indica, is a small weeping tree that earns its place three times a year, crimped white flowers massed along cascading branches through summer, warm autumn foliage, and smooth, softly mottled bark carrying the winter.

In the landscape

Suited to courtyards, entries and small gardens, repeated along a drive, or massed in threes and fives where the summer display can build. Its modest scale keeps it comfortable near buildings and under service lines. Give it full sun and free air movement for the cleanest foliage and heaviest flowering.
