Hi MJL , I was going to refer to the Hydrangea changes but it was on my mind to try some food colouring on the soil to see if it had an effect .
A graft was the solution to a multi coloured flowering Crepe Myrtle that I always wanted .
Cheers . Alpine

Re: Crepe Myrtle
Not a good display with any flowering material here but you get the idea behind the plan in place .
Cheers Alpine
This is not the only multi coloured trunk here , awaiting the results of another colour graft on a cascade trunk of sorts Cheers Alpine
