Crepe Myrtle - Lagerstroemia Tuscarora

After seeing all the beautiful crepe myrtles in bloom last summer, we acquired a small one as well at the start of 2016.

This one is an Indian Summer hybrid crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x Lagerstroemia fauriei) variety Tuscarora, which produces rose-red to fuchsia-pink flowers.

It produced many clusters of flowers during the warm weather but now that it's much cooler, it has stopped flowering and the leaves have turned yellow-red. It has also been heavily pruned as we intend to keep it as a small-ish shrub.
