Crepe Myrtle 'Tuscarora' (Large 330mm pot)
This beautiful crepe myrtle bursts into a stunning display of coral-pink flowers from summer through autumn, held above deep green foliage that turns fiery orange-red as the weather cools.

Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it copes well with Canberra's dry spells and cold winters alike.
