LAGESTROEMIA INDICA

Lagerstroemia indica ‘Dynamite’ is a particularly valuable variety for the liveliness of its summer flowering, which stands out for the intense red color of its flowers and the overall elegance of the plant. A deciduous shrub, it has an erect and well-branched habit, with an orderly development and small dimensions, which make it suitable both for growing in pots and for use in small or medium-sized gardens.
During the summer, and until the beginning of autumn, the plant produces showy and light inflorescences, consisting of small flowers with a curled edge, gathered in panicles that stand out on the bright green foliage. In autumn, the leaves take on warm shades between orange and red, contributing to the ornamental interest even at the end of the growing season.
Over time, the stem develops a smooth bark that tends to flake off naturally, revealing light shades that enhance the appearance of the plant even in winter. ‘Dynamite’ prefers sunny exposures, tolerates heat and drought well once established, and requires a well-drained substrate to best express its qualities, even in containers.
