Crape Myrtle
Crape Myrtle — known scientifically as Lagerstroemia — is a stunning ornamental tree celebrated for its vibrant, long-lasting blooms and graceful form. Native to Asia, it thrives in warm climates and adorns landscapes with clusters of crinkled, paper-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, red, and white.
Beyond its beauty, the Crape Myrtle is admired for its resilience. Its smooth, mottled bark and lush summer blossoms make it a symbol of renewal, strength, and enduring elegance. As one of the longest-blooming trees, it brings color and life to gardens for months, even in the hottest seasons.
Culturally, the Crape Myrtle represents grace through adversity — thriving where others fade — and stands as a living expression of perseverance and quiet confidence.
