Lagerstroemia indica (Indian lilac) is a small deciduous tree or shrub with bark that peels off to reveal a smooth, red-brown trunk. This is very decorative, especially in winter when the plant is leafless. The leaves are sessile or slightly petiolate, elliptic or oblong, 2-7 cm, dark green in spring-summer and red-purple in autumn (except varieties with white flowers). The flowers are grouped in very dense racemes, 10-20 cm long, which guarantee spectacular flowering throughout the summer. It grows well in all areas of Italy, even in the northern ones, but the most abundant flowering occurs in extremely hot places with high humidity in the air. It needs fertile, light, well-drained soil. It blooms on new shoots, therefore it requires pruning, but it should never be done after mid-February (in the conditions of our country, it is recommended to prune the plants in the autumn-winter months, after the flowers have dried, but not later than March 1-15). The plant requires wrapping with textile material (Agril) during the cold periods of winter, if the temperature drops below -10°C and persists for several days. The planting position must be in a very sunny place and protected from cold winter winds. If the plant is located in the city, it is not necessary to cover it.

Lagerstroemia indica 'Black Diamond Lavender Lace' is a recent variety that can be in shrub form or stem grafted and created as a tree. Inflorescences appear from the beginning of June. The flowers are purple.

Plant hardiness zones in Europe:

Average annual minimum temperatures in °C*

Zone 1 < -45.5°C

Zone 2 -45.5°C / -40.1°C

Zone 3 -40.0°C / -34.5°C

Zone 4 - 34.4°C / -28.9°C

Zone 6 -23.3°C / -17.8°C

Zone 7 -17.7°C / -12.3°C

Zone 8 -12.2°C / -6.7°C

Zone 9 -6.6°C / -1.2°C p>

Zone 10 -1.1°C / +4.4°C

Zone 11 > +4.4°C

* Minimum temperatures are an important factor that determines plant hardiness (the ability of plants to survive where these minimum temperatures can occur).

This principle was created. in the early 1960s by the "United States Department of Agriculture" and then adapted for Europe by W. Heinz and D. Schreiber.

Based on this principle, Europe was divided into 11 zones.
