Notes
'Pink Velour' lagerstroemia (Lagerstroemia indica 'Pink Velour') is a shrub for specimen planting, hedges, privacy screens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet soil of most types. It sits low on the menu for deer. It grows fast into a dense form, and it is drought tolerant. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms in summer and again in autumn.
Pairs well with Mexican orange blossom, Nobilis red-hot poker, and Snow in summer.
