Lagerstroemia indica ‘Fuchsia d’Été’ Description

Lagerstroemia indica ‘Fuchsia d’Été’ is a deciduous crape myrtle producing showy panicles of vivid fuchsia-pink flowers during warm summer weather. The small leaves provide a neat background through the growing season and can develop warmer shades before falling in autumn, while mature stems acquire attractively smooth bark. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and shelter the plant from cold winds. Ireland lies towards the cool edge of the climate preferred by crape myrtles, so a south or west-facing wall gives a much better chance of regular flowering. Young plants may require winter protection during hard frost. Flowers are borne on fresh growth, so remove frost-damaged tips and shape the plant lightly in spring rather than pruning heavily in autumn.
