Buy 10 or more Crepe Myrtles and receive 20% off at checkout
Burgundy foliage and hot-pink summer blooms combine with a naturally spreading canopy that shades your home in summer and floods it with winter light—this is the 'Canopy'™ Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia) doing the heavy lifting most ornamentals miss. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and establishing vigorously in clay, loamy, or sandy soils, this deciduous performer demands virtually no fussing from Sydney to Perth to Tasmania. Salt-spray tolerant, frost-hardy, and drought-tough once established, it excels as a featured specimen tree, informal screening plant, or multi-stem shrub depending on how you prune it—equally at home in coastal gardens, inland suburbs, or difficult soils where fussier plants fail. Spring through summer delivers months of standout colour, while winter bare branches open your sightlines and let precious light reach understory plantings. Plant in well-draining soil with room to spread, water regularly for the first season, then step back—this cultivar rewards minimal intervention with reliable growth and unfussy good looks year after year.
