Lagerstroemia ×egolfii 'Pocomoke'
Pocomoke crape myrtle
Deep rose-pink flowers appear above a miniature, densely branched mound. The National Arboretum measured 19 inches tall and 35 inches wide after eight years in containers, but lists a landscape size of about 4 feet. Glossy leaves emerge bronze, mature dark green and turn bronze-red in fall. Winter stem survival depends on climate.
