Crape Myrtle, Lagerstroemia indica 'Whit III' has been given the brand name, 'Pink Velour' for great reason! Magenta flowers are abundant through summer and early fall and stand-out against the deep purple-green foliage. Simple pruning will make Crape Myrtle 'Pink Velour' a magnificent specimen tree, or plant them in mass and let them loose for a dramatic privacy screen. All this, and resistance to powdery mildew makes this hardy variety a favorite in warmer climates.
