Lagerstroemia indica ‘Braise d’Été’ Description

Lagerstroemia indica ‘Braise d’Été’ is a deciduous crape myrtle selected for its vivid red flower panicles, which appear during warm summer weather above small green leaves. Mature stems develop smooth, attractively patterned bark, while the foliage can colour before falling in autumn. It develops as a large shrub or small multi-stemmed tree, with ultimate size depending strongly on climate and pruning. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil against a warm south or west-facing wall where possible. Irish summers can be marginal for consistent flowering, so choose the hottest sheltered position available. Young plants benefit from frost protection during severe winters. Prune lightly in spring to remove damaged growth and encourage fresh shoots, as flowers are produced on new season’s stems.
