| Botanical Name | Lagerstroemia 'Coral Bloom' (Thunderstruck™ Series) |
| Description | Part of the innovative Thunderstruck™ series, this variety is prized for its intense, near-black foliage that provides a stunning contrast to its coral-pink flowers. It is highly resistant to powdery mildew, a common issue in the humid Houston metro area. While it is adaptable to many soil types, including the heavy clay found in parts of Willis and Houston, ensure the planting site doesn't hold standing water for extended periods to maintain optimal root health. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for deepest foliage color) |
| Height x Width | 10-12 feet Tall x 8-10 feet Wide |
| Water | Moderate; drought tolerant once established, but benefits from deep watering during dry Houston summers. |
| Zones | 7-10 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth appears. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter to remove dead wood or cross-branches; avoid "topping" to maintain its natural architectural form. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
