Tuscarora Crepe Myrtle. 250mm Pot

Flowers right through the hottest part of summer, when almost nothing else is. Big crinkled heads of dark fuchsia-pink from late summer into autumn, fiery orange-red autumn leaves, then smooth peeling bark through winter. Bred for mildew resistance and made for Adelaide's heat.
