Lagerstroemia indica 'Eveline'

Lagerstroemia indica 'Eveline' lights up the summer garden with large, abundant clusters of frilly, pastel-pink flowers that grace its compact, bushy form from July into autumn, bringing long-lasting colour and attracting pollinators. The foliage emerges bronze-red in spring, maturing to glossy green before transforming to brilliant gold, red and orange autumn tones, while the attractive bark adds year-round interest. Its compact size makes it a superb choice for small borders, containers or as a focal ornamental shrub.Lagerstroemia is well-loved in Mediterranean gardens but is still uncommon in the UK and deserves to be more widely grown. These exuberant shrubs produce a profusion of long-lasting flowers, delivering a stunning summer display. Thriving in warm, sunny spots that allow the wood to mature fully—such as a south-facing wall—they bring long lasting colour to the garden. When grown in containers, they create an eye-catching feature on a warm, south-facing patio and can be moved to a sheltered spot for winter protection. Ultimate height and spread: 1m to 1.5m (3.2 - 4.9ft).
