📌 Note: Plants may be delivered with or without flowers, depending on the season and their natural stage of development. Flowering depends on sun exposure, and young plants may need one or two seasons to reach their full flowering potential.

During heatwaves, Lagerstroemia indica may naturally lose some of its leaves or develop leaves with minor cosmetic imperfections in response to very high temperatures and heat stress. This phenomenon is temporary and does not affect the plant’s viability. With proper care, the plant quickly produces new foliage and resumes normal growth.
