Crepe Myrtles:
The magnificent Indian Summer® Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia) make an ideal choice as a flowering tree in the heat of Australia's mid- to late summer. Available in a multitude of flower colours, from white through to red, and in forms ranging from shrubs to trees, they also feature exfoliating bark that gives them ornamental value even during the dormant winter months.
The Indian Summer Crepe Myrtles are beautifully complimented by their smaller-growing cousins Symphony of Colour Crepe Myrtles by Chopin. Chopins are generally available as shrubs with some of the range being grafted onto 'standards' that are an impressive sight when in full bloom.
