Shrubs
Lagerstroemia indica 'Bellaggua'
Bellini Guava crape myrtle

Soft pink flower clusters cover a small, mounded shrub in summer. Green leaves provide a simple backdrop that works with many border combinations. Its compact size suits foundation beds and large containers where a taller crape myrtle would be difficult to accommodate.
