Typically only grown in the south, now northern gardeners, to Zone 6, can enjoy Crapemyrtle! Bright fuchsia-pink flowers! With a name like Dark Roast, expect rich glossy dark green foliage with mahogany-red undertones. The semi-glossy red new-growth foliage tips of Lagerstroemia Dark Roast highlight the dark foliage. Perfect for a small space or place in your favorite container to brighten your deck. 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.
