Lagerstroemia indica x Lagerstroemia fauriei ‘Tonto’
Bare Rooted

Lagerstroemia ‘Tonto’ is a compact and highly ornamental crape myrtle prized for its vivid, deep rose-red to magenta flower clusters that bloom profusely from mid-summer to early autumn. The crinkled, crepe-like flowers create a brilliant display against the glossy dark green foliage, making it a colourful focal point in gardens and landscapes. In autumn, the leaves transform into rich shades of orange, red, and burgundy, adding vibrant seasonal interest before they fall.

This deciduous small tree or large shrub has a naturally rounded, well-branched growth habit, making it ideal for smaller gardens, feature plantings, borders, and streetscapes. During winter, its smooth, peeling bark reveals attractive patches of cinnamon, tan, and grey, providing year-round ornamental value even after the leaves have dropped.

‘Lagerstroemia ‘Tonto” thrives in full sun and grows best in well-drained, fertile soil. Once established, it is highly tolerant of heat, humidity, and periods of drought, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of climates. Its long flowering season, striking flower colour, attractive autumn foliage, and decorative bark make it an excellent landscape tree that delivers beauty and interest throughout the year.
