Lagerstroemia 'Crimson Red' is an impressive exhibition of color and resilience, known more commonly as the Crimson Red Crape Myrtle. This hardwood spectacle stands at a majestic height of 8-20 feet, showcasing a crown of incomparable crimson-red blooms that take center stage in the summer.

Not only does this deciduous wonder impress with its summer show, but also in winter, its exfoliating bark peels away to reveal a captivating cinnamon hue that tells a seasonal tale. Optimally flourishing in the warmth of full sun, Lagerstroemia exhibits an admirable resilience with an innate drought tolerance. This enigmatic and versatile tree, comfortably fitting into smaller yards, is a sublime choice for those seeking a year-long infusion of color and a testament to nature's bounty in their landscape, without compromising on durability and appearance.
