Center Stage™ Coral Crapemyrtle

Lagerstroemia indica ‘SMNLIJ’ USPPAF

Bred by Megan Mathey at Spring Meadow Nursery and introduced by Spring Meadow Nursery and Proven Winners ColorChoice Flowering Shrubs.

A cut above! The Center Stage series only lets in trialed and tested winners and this new addition is proof. For Center Stage Coral, as well as the rest of the Center Stage series, the breeding focus was to develop crapes with an earlier bloom date and mildew resistance. Earlier blooms, richer intense reddish-black foliage, and less prone to mildew. You’ll love the ruffled, fully saturated coral flowers and healthy, rapid growth too! Mature height and width will be 6–12 feet tall and 8 feet wide. The other varieties in the series are Center Stage Red and Center Stage Pink. Prefers full sun. Zone 7.

Available as 2 ¼-inch, 4-inch and quart containers from Proven Winners (Booth 6055).
