Lagerstroemia ‘Tuscarora’

Masses of vibrant, deep coral-pink flowers are seen late summer and stems show attractive mottled bark. A cross between L. indica and L. fauriei raised by Don Egolf in the USA, this, despite popular belief, flowers regularly in the Southern UK at least. Plants at Kew have been covered in flower in late summer for many years, including poor cool summers. A large shrub for full sun.
