Add pizazz to entryway gardens with the bold color of Delta Fusion™ Crapemyrtle.

With vivid flowers and luxuriant foliage, Delta Fusion™ Crapemyrtle is all about flair. What better way to greet visitors than with vibrant, magenta-pink blossoms? The papery blooms shine against a deep burgundy backdrop of ruffled foliage for a high-impact display. How do you contain such drama in the garden? Get grounded with Baby Gem™ Boxwood. This compact, rounded evergreen stabilizes the planting, while gracefully contrasting the elegant vase-like silhouette of Delta Fusion™ Crapemyrtle. Amazingly versatile, the duo looks equally at home against a Georgian-style façade as it does among rambling roses in a rustic garden. Complete the look in any setting with the strappy leaves and bulbous blooms of Queen Mum™ Agapanthus.
