Typically only grown in the south, now northern gardeners, to Zone 6, can enjoy Crapemyrtle! From the Barista Series, perk up the late summer garden with clusters of chocolate-mocha-hued buds and the cherry-red flowers of Lagerstroemia Cherry Mocha. The semi-glossy, burgundy foliage is tipped in red. Flowers are followed by rounded green seed pods. For much of the growing season, Lagerstroemia is a superb foliage shrub with its shorter, rounded habit. Blooms on new wood for reliable flowering year after year. Our southern growers, without winter die back, can expect mature height to be taller.
