Lagerstroemia indica, commonly known as the Crape Myrtle or Pride of India, is a deciduous tree native to East Asia. Typically growing 3 to 8 meters tall, it features a multi-stemmed trunk with smooth, exfoliating bark that reveals a mottled, attractive surface. In summer to fall, the tree produces abundant clusters of colorful flowers in shades of pink, purple, red, or white. The lance-shaped leaves turn vibrant red or yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest. Lagerstroemia indica thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for landscaping, valued for its striking blooms, ornamental bark, and attractive foliage.
