Common Name: Jarul, Pride of India, Queen’s Flower
Botanical Name: Lagerstroemia Speciosa
Family: Lythraceae
Description:
Lagerstroemia Speciosa, commonly known as Jarul or the Pride of India, is a stunning deciduous tree renowned for its vibrant, showy flowers that bloom in a variety of colors, ranging from purple and pink to white. This tree grows up to 10–12 meters in height, with a dense canopy and smooth, grayish-brown bark. The blossoms appear in summer and continue into the monsoon season, creating a spectacular display of floral beauty that can brighten any landscape.
The leaves of Lagerstroemia Speciosa are large, dark green, and oval, providing a striking contrast to the vivid flowers. In the fall, the tree sheds its leaves, and the vibrant flowers give way to seed pods, which add to its ornamental value even in the off-season. Known for its attractive aesthetic appeal, it is ideal for parks, roadways, and gardens where you want to create a bold, colorful statement.

This hardy plant thrives in a wide range of soils, preferring well-drained, fertile soil and full sunlight for the best flowering. Lagerstroemia Speciosa is relatively low-maintenance, tolerating dry conditions once established but benefiting from regular watering during hot spells. Its fast-growing nature and robust structure make it suitable for both small and large landscapes.
