Lagerstroemia Zuni Purple – Crepe Myrtle 200mm Pot

Lagerstroemia Zuni Purple – Crepe Myrtle (200mm Pot)

Lagerstroemia ‘Zuni Purple’ is a compact crepe myrtle variety valued for its rich purple-mauve summer flowers, excellent garden performance and manageable size. A reliable deciduous flowering tree, Zuni Purple is well suited to Australian gardens, particularly where space is limited but strong colour is desired.

Flowering from late spring through summer, Zuni Purple produces dense clusters of vibrant blooms that attract bees and pollinators. The fresh green foliage provides a clean backdrop through the warmer months before turning attractive autumn tones, followed by smooth decorative bark in winter.

Thriving in full sun, Lagerstroemia Zuni Purple is heat tolerant, low maintenance, and performs well in urban gardens, feature planting and small landscapes. Its naturally compact habit makes it ideal for courtyards, front gardens and as a feature tree.
