Lagerstroemia indica BRAISE D'ETE 'Indybra'
A very early fire-red in the INDIYA CHARMS® range.
The very early flowering is remarkable because of its very dense, good-sized, intense red thyrses, from the beginning of July onwards; in the right conditions, there is new flowering at the end of summer. The young red shoots are followed by dark green foliage.
BRAISE D'ÉTÉ®, CAMAÏEU D'ÉTÉ®, FUCHSIA D'ÉTÉ® and VIOLET D'ÉTÉ® are the four varieties of the INDIYA CHARMS® range in our program. They offer pretty shades of mauve, violet, pink and red, adding bright summer colours to shrub borders and mixed hedges.
Stem-grafted, in pots or in the ground, they decorate any entrance, terrace or, more traditionally, can be planted in a row.
They can also be trained along a south facing wall.

The INDIYA CHARMS® Lagerstroemia range
The Lagerstroemia varieties in the INDIYA CHARMS® collection are remarkable for their earliness and quality of flowering, better adapted to more temperate summers.
The result of lengthy selection work, they have also been chosen for their good behavior at low temperatures (hardiness from -15°C to adulthood), and their resistance to powdery mildew.
Varieties can be grown in clumps or grafted onto stems or half-stems.
