Miami Crepe Myrtle - Lagerstroemia 'Miami'
'Miami' is one of the mildew-resistant crepe myrtles, a deciduous small tree that carries large trusses of crinkled hot pink to coral-red flowers right through the hottest weeks of summer when little else is in colour. Lagerstroemia earns its place in Australian gardens for a second reason as well: the trunk sheds in plates to reveal smooth cinnamon and grey bark, so the tree is worth looking at bare in winter. Choose it where an ornamental flowering tree is wanted but the position is hot, open and reflective.
Why Miami Crepe Myrtle
Midsummer flowering: The display runs through the peak of summer, filling the gap left after spring blossom trees have finished.
Mildew resistance: This is a bred selection with far better resistance to the powdery mildew that disfigures older crepe myrtle seedlings.
Ornamental bark: Mature trunks exfoliate to a smooth cinnamon and pewter surface that carries the tree through its bare winter months.
Autumn colour: Foliage turns orange and red before leaf fall, giving a second seasonal display on the same plant.
Heat and drought hardiness: Once established it copes with hot western aspects, reflected heat off paving and extended dry spells.
Ideal Applications
Driveway avenue: Repeated down both sides of a drive at even spacing, the upright vase habit lifts clear of vehicles and roofs.
Front garden feature: A single specimen on a lawn or in a gravel bed gives flowers in summer, colour in autumn and bark in winter.
Deciduous shade over paving: It shades a courtyard or northern window in summer and lets winter sun through once the leaves drop.
Street and verge planting: Non-invasive roots and a compact canopy make it a common municipal choice near footpaths and services.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 2 to 3m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 6m
Best Planting Season: Spring or autumn
Soil & Drainage: Well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types including clay and sandy soils; drought tolerant once established
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first 12 months to establish a strong root system, then reduce to occasional deep watering during dry periods. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.
