Sale price$1,500.00

Lagerstroemia indica 'Lipan', known as Lipan Crepe Myrtle, is a striking deciduous flowering tree prized for its vibrant fuchsia-pink blooms, glossy dark green foliage, and exceptional resilience. Growing 4–6 meters tall and 3–4 meters wide, it features a naturally rounded to spreading canopy, providing bold seasonal color and structural interest.

Flowering from summer through early autumn, Lipan delivers a profusion of crepe-paper-like flowers that beautifully contrast with its deep green leaves. Its foliage transforms to golden-orange in autumn before shedding for winter, while exfoliating bark adds year-round texture and visual appeal.

Thriving in full sun, this adaptable crepe myrtle tolerates various soil types, pollution, and drought once established. Its low-maintenance nature and durability make it a popular choice for gardens, streetscapes, parks, and avenue planting. It looks excellent in sunny urban landscapes, resonating with gardeners seeking vibrant, reliable beauty that stands out with minimal effort.
