EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION

Lagerstromia indica 'Velma's Royal Delight'

Has superbly colored purple / magenta flowers in mid summer through early fall. This variety is probably one of the most cold hardy clones out there.

This is another wonderful semi-dwarf variety of crape myrtle that is great to put in places where you want the brilliant color, but cannot have the 15-20 ft sized varieties.
