Good air circulation and plenty of sunlight help maintain healthy foliage and encourage strong summer flowering.

Lagerstroemia ‘De Puard’ is low maintenance once established. Water during extended dry periods, particularly through hot summers. Light pruning in late winter can be used to remove dead or crossing branches and maintain a tidy shape. Avoid heavy pruning as this variety naturally forms a pleasing canopy.
