Pride of India - Lagerstroemia Indica
The Pride of India (Lagerstroemia indica) is also commonly called the “Crape Myrtle”, “Trots van Indie” or “Skubliesroos”. It is a spectacular little tree native to the Indian subcontinent, and China, Japan and Korea.
It is most often multi-stemmed with a wide and spreading, flat topped crown. However it has a variable growth habit, and can sometimes be rounded, or shrub-like with an irregular and open habit. It is deciduous, and in colder regions its dark green foliage turns yellow, orange and red before dropping
Pride of India trees are known for their beautiful blooms, typically in shades of pink, purple, red, or white, and their distinctive bark that exfoliates revealing a smooth, mottled bark beneath. They can grow as multi-stemmed shrubs or small trees, with some varieties being dwarf, making them suitable for containers.
Germination Tip:
After soaking the seed overnight and the seed has not softened or swelled, you will need to scarify the seed coat. Scarifying is the process of weakening the seed coat, so that water and oxygen can enter the seed, in turn, kick starting germination. Seeds will remain dormant if not exposed to these elements
Scarifying can be achieved by gently rubbing the seed coat with sandpaper, you do not need to rub off the entire coating, just enough for water to enter.
NB: Only scarify the seed coat, do not damage the internal parts of the seed.
Once Scarifying has been done. submerge the seed again as per instructions
