Lagerstroemia indica 'New Orleans'

A very low growing miniature weeping crepe myrtle, which produces an eye-catching display of pink-purple flowers. Thrives in hot conditions. Suited to rock gardens, for use as a massed groundcover or in hanging baskets. Excellent when grown in an ‘urn’-like container where the pendulous branches can hang to effect.
