Notes
'Violet Filli' lagerstroemia (Lagerstroemia indica 'Violet Filli') is a shrub for pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. 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. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Violet flowers open from early to late summer and again in early autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Switchgrass, and American holly.
