A spreading semi dwarf hybrid of the Lagerstroemia indica, produced by the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. Hopi conveniently reaches a height of only 10' tall unlike its much taller ancestors, allowing it to be used more in the home landscape. Clear light pink 5 in. flower panicles bloom from June to September. Leaves are yellow, orange, and red in fall. Blooms until frost in the southern U.S. It is the most hardy of the semi-dwarf cultivars, withstood -24F. Like most tree Crapes, suckers are trimmed from the base and pulled from the ground, to give it that bonsai look. Mildew-resistant. Good cold hardiness. Perfect in patio containers, also makes an attractive hedge or screen.
