Crape Myrtle 'Comanche', Crapemyrtle 'Comanche', Lagerstroemia indica 'Comanche'
Lagerstroemia ‘Comanche’ (Crape Myrtle) is a small, upright, broad-spreading, deciduous tree with a profusion of large clusters, 6-9 in. long (15-22 cm), packed with crinkly, coral pink flowers at its branch tips. Blooming from midsummer to early fall in an explosion of brilliant flowers smothering the foliage, it adds vibrant color in the landscape. The foliage of dark green leaves turns orange to reddish purple in the fall before dropping – revealing the unique, smooth bark. This crape myrtle enjoys an excellent disease resistance and adds great ornamental value across the seasons. It makes a striking specimen plant or flowering hedge.
