White Chocolate Crape Myrtle

Lagerstroemia 'White Chocolate': Striking Foliage Contrast

This cultivar turns the typical crape myrtle script upside down. Maroon-colored new leaves mature to bronzy-green, creating a dark, sophisticated backdrop for clusters of small, pure white crepe-paper flowers. The contrast is crisp and elegant—like white chocolate on dark cocoa.

Compact & Colorful

Fall brings a mixture of orange and yellow foliage tones. At just 5–10 feet tall and 7–12 feet wide, 'White Chocolate' fits comfortably in smaller gardens, containers, or as a low hedge. Deciduous, drought-tolerant, and thriving in full sun, it delivers high impact in a small package.
