CREPE MYRTLE - LAGERSTROEMIA 'ZUNI' The Lagerstroemia 'Zuni' (Crepe Myrtle) is a compact, multi-stemmed deciduous tree or large shrub celebrated for its long flowering dark violet-to-magenta summer blooms and brilliant autumn foliage. In winter the bark becomes its feature. The outer bark naturally peels away to reveal a smooth, mottled under-bark that provides sculptural, year-round interest. We highly recommend Crepe Myrtles and this is the most compact for small gardens or even manageable even in a large pot. Keep an eye out for the four planted.

Helleborus are perfect for underplanting deciduous trees as they require little effort to keep it performing and growing well.

It is not necessary but will give you a better floral display if most of the leaves are trimmed back during late autumn.
