Sale price$250.00

Lagerstroemia indica 'Yuma', known as Crepe Myrtle 'Yuma', is a charming deciduous shrub celebrated for its delicate pale pink, paper-like blooms that brighten gardens from summer through autumn. Growing up to 4 meters tall and 3 meters wide, it features small oval-shaped leaves that drop in winter, revealing its smooth grey bark and upright form.

This slow-growing shrub is not only visually stunning but also highly practical—resistant to powdery mildew and drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for light screening, topiary, hedging, or large containers, 'Yuma' creates a graceful summer shade and a dazzling floral display that enhances any landscape.

Thriving in full sun, it requires low maintenance and regular watering during its early growth and dry spells to establish a strong trunk. With its elegant blooms and durable nature, Crepe Myrtle 'Yuma' is a delightful addition to gardens seeking long-lasting beauty and effortless charm.
