Why plant Miami Crape Myrtle?
Bred by the U.S. National Arboretum, Miami is one of the strongest members of the Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei hybrid series. It combines the floral punch of indica with the bark and disease resistance of fauriei. At Bower & Branch, we grow it large and healthy so it arrives ready to take center stage.
