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.
