Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lagerstoemia Barista 'Bubble Tea' is a dense, small shrub with semi-glossy medium green foliage and late season lilac purple flowers. Lagerstroemia are classic shrubs and trees of the US southeast. The Barista Collection of crape myrtles are hardy cultivars to zone 6. Where they have been tested in Michigan they die back to the ground in winter and bloom on new wood in late summer. On the west coast they will not die back but they will need to be planted in a hot spot to bring them into flower.
