Notes

'Moners' lagerstroemia (Lagerstroemia indica 'Moners') is a shrub for pollinator gardens, specimen planting, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant grows fast into a dense shape and blooms from early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and it tolerates drought.
