🌿 The Summer-Long Showstopper: Lagerstroemia ‘Lancasteri’ 🌸

Introducing the ‘Lancasteri’ Crepe Myrtle, a cultivar that embodies grace and enduring beauty throughout the hottest months. While many crepe myrtles boast vibrant fuchsias and reds, ‘Lancasteri’ offers a more subtle, sophisticated palette. Its most captivating feature is the abundant, large panicles of soft pink, crinkled flowers that resemble delicate crepe paper. These blooms create a cloud of gentle color that can last for up to 100 days, providing a spectacular display from mid-summer well into fall.

A versatile and resilient small tree, it’s perfect for adding structure and long-lasting color to gardens, borders, or as a stunning standalone specimen.

✨ Why Lagerstroemia ‘Lancasteri’ is a Garden Favorite:

• 🌸 Prolific, Soft Pink Blooms: The primary reason to plant this tree is its breathtaking floral show. The large clusters of delicate, soft pink flowers provide a long-lasting, elegant display that is less intense and more romantic than many other crepe myrtles.

• 🍂 Four Seasons of Interest: Beyond the summer flowers, ‘Lancasteri’ offers year-round appeal. In autumn, its foliage turns to stunning shades of orange and red. In winter, its smooth, mottled bark in shades of grey and cinnamon provides beautiful structural interest.

• 💪 Exceptional Heat and Drought Tolerance: Once established, this crepe myrtle is incredibly tough. It thrives in full sun and is highly tolerant of heat, humidity, and drought, making it a superb choice for low-maintenance and water-wise landscapes.

• 📏 Perfect Size for Small Gardens: With a mature size that is manageable for most residential landscapes, it fits perfectly as a small shade tree, an accent plant, or even in a large container.

• 🐦 Attracts Pollinators: The nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for butterflies and bees, bringing vibrant life and movement to your garden.
