Center Stage® Coral Crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia)

(Crapemyrtle) Front and center is where you'll want this blooming beauty! Center Stage® Coral Crapemyrtle will bring drama to the garden boasting bright coral pink blooms set off by a supporting cast of glossy, nearly black foliage. Standing 6-12 feet tall and spreading up to 8 feet wide, this upright growing shrub likes to be in the garden spotlight.
