Bright coral - as a tree. This tree of abour 4 m high is particularly original from spring to autumn. The spring foliage is of an intense coral. It then takes on a light green tone, contasting with the bright pink to red stalks. Like with the other varieties of soap trees, they are composed and elegantly shaped. The new summer shoots are also coloured, but less flamboyant. Once the tree is well established, the long yellow grapes of flowers in July are fragrant and very melliferous. They are followed by attractive coral-rose fruit capsules. Finally the colour of the foliage turns yellow, then orange in autumn. Grown as small decorative tree or as a bushy shrub, 'Coral Sun' must be planted in a wind-sheltered spot. Trophies: Silver Medal at PLANTARIUM 2006 (Boskoop - NETHERLANDS)

MIMIE® Fuchsia: covering growth, prolific bright flowers, early and long lastingThis Lagerstroemia variety bred by Alain DABADIE had firstly been chosen for its growth as carpeting ground cover or weeping if the plant is stem trained. The cultivation takes on this shape naturally, without pruning. Further on, MIMIE® Fuchsia 'DABLAGE01' is floriferous right from its early age. It blooms precociously and continues all summer long producing successive new flowers. The 4 cm long florets in the form of remarkable raspberry red grapes can reach up to 30 cm. The flowering season is from mid June to mid October; these dates vary according to the climate.Finally, this cultivation only needs little or no maintenance. It is a healthy plant, no sensitivity to powdery mildew has been noticed. The novel shape, the precocity, the duration of the bright coloured flowers, it all allows an original use of the crape myrtle, and this even in a wide climatic zone. MIMIE® Fuchsia has its place as ground cover or, when grown as a small standard, is particularly considered for balconies and terraces and at last, more traditionally, in bushy clumps.Trophies: Silver medal at Innovert® 2017 nursery category (Nantes - FRANCE).
