Lagerstroemia indica 'White

Crapemyrtle White

Lagerstroemia indica ‘White’ (White Crape Myrtle)

A deciduous small tree or large shrub with a rounded to spreading habit, Lagerstroemia indica ‘White’ is valued for its abundant, pure white flower clusters that bloom in mid to late summer. The showy panicles provide long-lasting color, while the smooth, exfoliating bark reveals tones of tan and gray for added seasonal interest. Glossy green foliage transitions to shades of orange and red in fall. This classic white form offers a clean, bright look in the summer landscape.
