Crape Myrtle Pink Velour®, Crapemyrtle Pink Velour®, Lagerstroemia indica 'Whit III'
A very ornamental crape myrtle, Lagerstroemia indica Pink Velour® is a multi-season beauty enjoying an extraordinarily long blooming period, exfoliating bark, and superb fall color. Regarded as one of the most colorful varieties, it bears abundant clusters of crinkly, vibrant magenta-pink flowers at its branch tips for months, from midsummer to early fall, attracting strong attention from onlookers. Flowers give way to round seed capsules, which often persist well into winter. This attractive deciduous shrub or small tree also features thick and leathery leaves that emerge burgundy red in spring, mature to purplish green by summer, and turn orange-brown in fall. The grayish-brown bark on mature branches exfoliates with age, adding further interest to the landscape. A great specimen or foundation plant.
