Quick Facts:

A petite, ultra-compact Crepe Myrtle bred for high performance in Australian gardens (by Ozbreed). It’s naturally dense and rounded, making it ideal for courtyards, borders, low hedging, especially when you want that “dark foliage + hot pink flower” hit without a big tree footprint. Best in full sun for maximum flowering and colour, in well-drained soil. Once established it’s drought tolerant, and it’s noted for good tolerance to humidity and frost and resistance to powdery mildew compared with older crepe myrtles. Prune in late winter to thicken it up and keep the shape tight.
