Lagerstroemia indica ‘Camaïeu d’Été’ Description

Lagerstroemia indica ‘Camaïeu d’Été’ is a deciduous crape myrtle grown for its summer flower panicles and attractive smooth bark. The flowers develop in softly blended pink to mauve tones, creating a more subtle effect than the vivid red cultivars. Foliage remains fresh through summer and may develop warm colour before falling in autumn. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and choose the warmest sheltered position available. In Ireland, flowering is most reliable against a south or west-facing wall or in a warm urban or coastal garden. Container growing is useful where plants may need additional winter protection. Flowers develop on new growth, so remove frost-damaged tips and lightly shape plants in spring rather than pruning heavily during autumn.
