Crape myrtle and other bushes, including miscanthus sinensis ‘sirene’ that bloom in summer, autumn and winter, are highlighted in the row on the other side of 10th Street on the Metro Campus. According to Shrub Hub, the crape myrtle is a popular choice for landscaping purposes because it is “a versatile and visually appealing choice for any outdoor space.” (Photo by Tatyana Nyborg.)
