Crape Myrtle Red Rooster®, Crapemyrtle Red Rooster®, Lagerstroemia indica 'Piilag-iii'
Lagerstroemia Red Rooster® (Crape Myrtle) is a splendid mid-size, upright, deciduous shrub with a profusion of large clusters packed with crinkly, brilliant red flowers at its branch tips. Blooming in mid to late summer, they create a vibrant display in the landscape. Deadheading will encourage re-blooming into the fall. The foliage emerges maroon-red in spring and gradually matures to dark green as the season progresses, before dropping and revealing the unique, smooth bark. Highly disease resistant, this crape myrtle adds great ornamental value across the seasons. It makes a striking specimen plant or flowering hedge.
