Lagerstroemia
'Kiss'
crape myrtle
Delightfully compact yet full of character, Lagerstroemia 'Kiss' brings a welcome flourish of colour to sunny spaces. Its upright, bushy habit is clothed in dark green foliage, providing a handsome backdrop for the abundance of richly pink blooms that appear in generous, terminal clusters. Each flower is formed of delicately crinkled petals, lending Lagerstroemia indica 'Kiss' a softly ruffled, almost tissue-like texture that catches the light beautifully. Flowering through the warmth of summer, Lagerstroemia 'Kiss' offers a long-lasting display that feels both vibrant and refined, perfect for adding a romantic note without overwhelming the planting scheme.
Exceptionally well-suited to modern gardens, Lagerstroemia indica 'With Love Kiss' is notably hardy for its kind and thrives in a sunny, sheltered position. Its naturally neat, branching form makes it ideal for containers, where Lagerstroemia 'Kiss' can be appreciated up close on a terrace or patio, as well as for the front of a warm border. Given well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight, Lagerstroemia 'Kiss' will reward with reliable flowering and an elegant structure that requires very little intervention. A charming choice for those seeking both resilience and beauty in equal measure.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
