Lagerstroemia indica Center Stage - Red
Center Stage Red crape myrtle displays black/purple foliage with red summer blooms.
Note: Regardless of hardiness zone, all crape myrtles are subject to die-back at temps below 15 degrees. Probability of this happening is increased by pruning in fall or winter.
Prune only in earliest Spring. Blooms will be produced on current year's wood.
