It is widespread in much of Southern Europe and in the south of America; here, the different flowers in colors ranging from dark red to bogey dominate the general plans and private gardens in most of the summer months.

This feature allows plants of Lagerstroemia indica to grow into a fairly thick bush or even a fairly thick bodied tree and branches into medium-sized trees in plants grown in areas where there are no hard or long-term frosts. However, the plant can be grown as a molded bush in very cold regions. In this case, although many bodies with the characteristic shell appear to be unlikely, magnificent flowers make this plant worthwhile. The flowers are lined up on young shoots in clusters. With its smooth, shiny brownish-pink color, it looks even in the flowerless seasons. That's why the four seasons decorate the garden. This bush has a summer mood dependency because it needs heat to mature. For this reason, if the plant receives more summer temperatures, it gets more colder during the cooler months than it can usually tolerate.
