Lagerstroemia 'Hopi'
Common Name: Hopi Crapemyrtle
Lagerstroemia ‘Hopi’ (Crape Myrtle)
A deciduous small tree with a broad, rounded habit, Lagerstroemia ‘Hopi’ is valued for its soft light pink flower clusters that bloom in mid to late summer. The flowers are borne in large panicles and provide long-lasting color during the hottest part of the season. Smooth, exfoliating bark reveals attractive tan and gray tones, while the green foliage transitions to shades of orange and red in fall. This cultivar is part of the U.S. National Arboretum series and offers excellent resistance to powdery mildew.
