Notes
'Burgundy Cotton' lagerstroemia (Lagerstroemia indica 'Burgundy Cotton') is a shrub for borders and hedges that needs little care. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. It blooms in summer and again in autumn, and it tolerates drought. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It grows about 10 to 12 feet tall and wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Agapanthus, and Orange daylily.
