Lagerstroemia Natchez
Description
Lagerstroemia Natchez is a flowering crape myrtle tree that brings a fresh, finished look to the landscape. It is known for white flowers and mid green foliage. This selection works well in front yards, side yards, streetside plantings, and sunny focal areas. It keeps the landscape bright during warm weather and still looks tidy after the flowers fade.
Smooth bark adds extra interest even when the tree is not in bloom. It can grow about 20–25 feet tall and 15–25 feet wide. Bloom time is usually in summer. After it is established, occasional deep watering is usually enough. It can be planted as a focal point or mixed with other selections for a fuller garden design. It is a beautiful choice for anyone who wants strong summer color and a clean finished look. Many homeowners like crape myrtles because they bring long bloom time without making the yard feel heavy.
