Noted for its long blooming season, fast growth rate and spreading to weeping form, Lagerstroemia Early Bird™ Purple is an upright, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with abundant clusters of bright purple flowers at its branch tips, from late spring (sometimes as early as Mother’s Day) to fall. Exhibiting excellent reblooming capabilities, ‘Early Bird Purple’ repeats flowering throughout the summer for up to 120 days. The flowers stand out against the fresh green foliage, which turns sometimes golden yellow in the fall. Equally attractive is the exfoliating gray-brown bark on mature branches. Attracting strong attention from onlookers, this Crape Myrtle makes a great specimen or container plant.
