Lagerstroemia, commonly known as crape myrtle, is a genus of deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees prized for their long-lasting summer blooms and multi-season appeal. These plants typically feature an upright, multi-stemmed growth habit with smooth, exfoliating bark that reveals colorful layers. Their leathery foliage emerges with red tints, matures to dark green, and turns brilliant shades of orange and red in autumn. They thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them ideal as ornamental specimens in warm climates.
