Myrtle, or Lagerstroemia Indica, looks equally attractive in any environment. Large trees in public parks of California, as well as smaller container plants you can place in your patio, they all have equally attractive clusters of vividly colored flowers. Even their barks are quite attractive, and their leaves can have more than interesting shades as well.

These plants are so easy to maintain, they don't require too much attention, water or high quality soil. What they do need is full sun and proper air circulation. They enjoy California weather, for example. They get enough, but not too much sun, and the soil is just appropriate for them. It is never too cold, and this is very important, because myrtles are sensitive to cold. Minis have better cold resistance, luckily.

Minis can be used as container plants, or as accent shrubs, for example. Potted plants can be placed inside during cold winter months, but they will survive outside as well, if it isn't too cold. Some varieties have very appealing barks, and wonderfully colored leaves, once the summer is over. All are highly decorative, thanks to their vivid, intensive colors, as potted plants or as entryway plantings.

If air circulation is poor, your plant might experience some problems with powdery mildew. Other problems might include aphids, scale, white flies or sooty mold. Most problems can be avoided if you select the plant according to your climate conditions. Although these plants enjoy full sun, they won't tolerate too extensive heat, and it might result in premature leaf loss.

Don't ever overfeed your plants, but give them one moderate pruning in late winter. You can shape them according to your taste, and your garden size. Thanks to their better cold resistance, minis will survive a little bit lower temperatures, but people still rather grow them in containers. They make wonderful patio plants, and are suitable for any terrace.

One of the most popular minis is certainly Delta Blush. It has particularly decorative, light pink flowers, and it is usually used as a showcase plant in a garden. It is one of the more weeping varieties, together with Weeping Alamo Fire. This variety has incredible, intensive red clusters of decorative flowers, and it blooms in the mid-summer.

Full growth habit of this lovely variety makes Pocomoke very popular in garden design. Flowers are intensively pink, and although this one is often used as container plant, you will find it in many gardens. Another popular shrub, maybe the smallest, is called Chickasaw. Its tight growth and beautiful pink shade of its flowers make it highly popular, especially in colder environments. Its cold resistance is much better than in other varieties.
