Re: lagerstroemia
Yes I also love oleander also. Got a very nice dwarf variety from garden center with peach colored blooms. Nothing like these two plants the heat.

Re: lagerstroemia
I didnt know much about these beautiful plants back in Karachi, where they are not very popular, I dont know why? Here in Islamabad, they are everywhere..... Very hardy, standing gracefully in 45 degree heat. I have planted a couple of them this monsoon.

Re: lagerstroemia
Yes they are very popular here,even in Mardan you will find these small hardy trees.what i like is they flower in such hot summers.not only flower but are also very fresh.they are popular at Peshawar,Islamabad,Lahore & even in Multan.Karachi has its own taste.many plants which can be easily grown at Karachi but not here specially at Peshawar or Islamabad.i love the African Tulip tree which is very common in Karachi but we can,t grow it here.Jack fruit which i tried so many time at Mardan & Islamabad but every time it dies back.although there are some trees in Takhtbai & Kohat but its not easy to grow them here as compd to Karachi.but thanks God we can grow Roses! Zeeshan our Land is so great so many climate diversities in the same country.so you can enjoy so many plants if you can visit all the parts.
