DescriptionHot enough for you?
Lagerstroemia loves the heat. If you're in its range (USDA 7-10) you know something about hot weather. This is Center Stage® Coral, which those of us a little further north (6b) can also enjoy. It may be more of a dieback shrub than a true woody ornamental in colder climates, but since it blooms on new wood we will see those brightly colored flowers each summer. In warm climates you can expect it to grow 6-12' tall and about 8' wide - the perfect size for screening a pool or patio from nosy neighbors.
