The Hopi Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica × fauriei ‘Hopi’) is a beautiful semi-dwarf crape myrtle cultivar known for its abundant deep pink to magenta flower clusters that brighten the landscape from midsummer into early fall. Reaching a mature height of 8 to 10 feet with a spread of 6 to 8 feet, it offers a compact yet substantial presence, making it ideal for foundation plantings, mixed borders, specimen use, or small landscape spaces. Its glossy dark green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the vibrant blooms and transitions to shades of orange and red in autumn for added seasonal interest. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–9, the Hopi Crape Myrtle thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, exhibiting excellent resistance to powdery mildew and good drought tolerance once established. Low-maintenance, colorful, and long-blooming, it is a reliable choice for adding lasting beauty and vibrant summer color to the garden.
