Lagerstroemia 'Zuni' (Zuni Crepe Myrtle)

Lagerstroemia 'Zuni', commonly known as the Zuni Crepe Myrtle, is a beautiful deciduous ornamental tree prized for its long-lasting display of vibrant lavender-purple flowers and attractive smooth, mottled bark. Flowering from summer through early autumn, the large clusters of blooms create a spectacular display above the glossy green foliage. As the seasons change, the leaves develop brilliant shades of orange and red before falling, while the ornamental bark provides year-round interest.

Compact, hardy, and easy to maintain, Zuni Crepe Myrtle thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is highly tolerant of heat, humidity, and drought once established, making it ideal for Australian gardens, streetscapes, and feature planting. With its extended flowering season, colourful autumn foliage, and attractive bark, Zuni is an outstanding choice for residential and commercial landscapes.
