Crape Myrtle 'Miami'

About this plant

Lagerstroemia Indica X Fauriei 'Miami' is a superb deciduous tree prized for its long-lasting, showy fuchsia-pink flowers that adorn the landscape from mid-summer into early fall. Beyond its captivating floral display, this cultivar boasts attractive reddish-brown bark that exfoliates with age, revealing smooth, cinnamon-colored underlayers, adding significant winter interest to your garden. 'Miami' offers a beautiful upright, vase-shaped habit, making it an excellent choice for a specimen tree, along a driveway, or as part of a mixed border. Its medium size and appealing visual characteristics ensure it will be a focal point in any landscape. Developed for improved disease resistance, particularly to powdery mildew, Crape Myrtle 'Miami' is a robust and relatively low-maintenance option that provides outstanding seasonal beauty.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal pruning, primarily to remove spent flowers (deadheading) to encourage new blooms and to shape the tree in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. 'Miami' is heat tolerant once established.
