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.
