Crepe myrtle - Lagerstroemia Canopy
We're SO excited to be the first nursery to bring this range of three new dark-leaved crepe myrtles to market!
These Ozbreed varieties have been bred especially for Australian gardens, so they are heat and cold tolerant, frost and humidity tolerant, and the perfect compact size for smaller gardens.
Canopy has a wide spreading habit, reaches over head height for privacy hedging, and has luscious wine-dark leaves and burgundy pink flowers. Enjoy the way the colours of leaves and flowers change, as the sun glows through.
