Zuni Crape Myrtle is a stunning hybrid cultivar celebrated for its exquisite lavender-purple flowers and exceptional disease resistance. This compact, upright tree or large shrub produces abundant clusters of crinkly, crepe-paper-like blooms in a unique dusky lavender to medium purple shade, creating a soft, romantic effect in the summer landscape. A product of the renowned U.S. National Arboretum breeding program, 'Zuni' combines the ornamental qualities of its parents with superior cold hardiness and near-total resistance to powdery mildew. Its foliage emerges glossy green, transitions to a striking reddish-orange in autumn, and its exfoliating bark adds winter interest. This versatile, low-maintenance beauty is ideal for smaller gardens, mixed borders, and as a focal point.
