Lagerstroemia indica

Most if not all Lagerstroemias (including this one L. indica)are grown for the beautiful crepe myrtle flowers that come in a range of flower colours. But by far, one of their best features is the amazing mottled bark that seems to twist with the branches and can range in colours from orange pinks whites to reds. These can be a multi stem shrub or tree and trained to be a single leader street tree. There are also many dwarf varieties available too.
