Deciduous flowering outdoor shrub · Lythraceae · compact upright freely branching habit

Lagerstroemia indica With Love® Virgin (‘Milabla’ PBR)

It flowers so generously, you may suspect it is showing off on purpose 😉

Family: Lythraceae · Pot diameter: 15cm · Height: 20–25cm

Pure white flowers
Compact bushy habit
Luminous summer canopy
Freely branching form

Lagerstroemia indica With Love® Virgin (‘Milabla’ PBR) turns summer into a luminous scene, with pure-white flower clusters appearing to float above dark foliage. Its compact, full outline feels elegant without becoming heavy. This is the white flowering accent that calms stronger colours, brightens the shadows within a planting and immediately gives the whole composition a polished finish, with a crinkled texture reminiscent of fine crepe.

Flower clusters develop on current-season growth in warm summer weather and may renew while high temperatures continue. The petals retain their clean white tone, while dense branching provides a handsome dark-green framework between flowering waves.

What makes it special

Pure white flowers, dense branching and an elegant scale come together in a small but exceptionally luminous crape myrtle.

White that lasts

Crinkled petals open pure white and change very little as the flowers mature.

Full compact base

Numerous upright shoots build a dense shrub with a balanced outline.

Luminous flowering tips

White terminal thyrses stand above the dark foliage, creating a crisp contrast.

Why you will love it: it creates the impression of a lavish white-flowering shrub in a scale that remains calm, elegant and versatile.

In the garden & on the balconyPlacement & plant combinationsLuminous summer focus · full sun · mature size about 60 × 40cm

Planting position

Luminous white focus

Place in full sun near an entrance, seating area or the front of a border, where the white clusters remain clearly visible. Allow about 50–60cm from neighbouring compact plants.

Colour & compatibility

White, blue, movement

White flowers bridge cool blue and purple blooms with the soft curves of a low ornamental grass.

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ — purple flowers and grey-green foliage that frame the white display.
Cenchrus alopecuroides ‘Hameln’ — soft curves that bring movement around the shrub.
Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ — low blue flowers that finish the base elegantly.

Care at a glance

Light

Full sun in a warm, sheltered position for the richest white flower display.

Watering

Maintain even moisture during establishment and summer heat, allowing surplus water to drain completely.

Climate & hardiness

Deciduous; established plants have been recorded as tolerating temperatures down to −15°C, while roots in pots benefit from protection during severe frost.

Safety

The species is not considered toxic to dogs or cats, but it is not intended for consumption.

Detailed careComplete care guideEight practical points: Position, Watering, Soil, Feeding, Seasonal behaviour, Pruning & clearing, Safety, Reading the plant.

Position

Full sun in a warm, sheltered position for the richest white flower display.

Watering

Maintain even moisture during establishment and summer heat, allowing surplus water to drain completely.

Soil

Fertile, organic, deep and very well-drained soil or growing mix, without prolonged wetness around the roots.

Feeding

Apply a light balanced feed in early spring; excessive nitrogen produces foliage at the expense of flowering tips.

Seasonal behaviour

Deciduous; established plants have been recorded as tolerating temperatures down to −15°C, while roots in pots benefit from protection during severe frost.

Pruning & clearing

Remove dead, weak or crossing wood in late winter and shape lightly before current-season growth begins.

Safety

The species is not considered toxic to dogs or cats, but it is not intended for consumption.

Reading the plant

Sparse flowering often points to insufficient sun or summer warmth, while excessively soft green growth usually indicates surplus nitrogen.

Development over timeHow the white cloud developsThree stages from root establishment to a compact shrub crowned with white flowers.

Root establishment

During the first season it develops fine roots and short structural shoots.

Canopy thickening

New lateral branches fill the centre and increase the number of flowering tips.

White flowering cloud

The mature summer plant carries terminal white thyrses on current-season growth.

Mature habit & dimensions

established mature plant

Height about 60cmSpread about 40cmCompact upright shrub

Mature Lagerstroemia indica With Love® Virgin (‘Milabla’ PBR) retains numerous upright stems beneath a rounded white flowering canopy. Its small scale and free branching give a full outline in a sunny foreground.

Form through time

Base thickeningNew lateral shoots fill the centre.

White flowering canopyThyrses rise at the tips of current-season shoots.

The two drawings connect spring leaf emergence on the freely branching framework with the mature summer display.

What to expect after planting: After root establishment, lateral branching increases the tips that flower on current-season growth. Each warm season can make the white cloud denser without turning the plant into a large tree.

History & originCultivar originPiero Frangi · Vertemate con Minoprio, Italy · sown 1998 · selected 1999

The story of Lagerstroemia indica ‘Milabla’, now marketed as With Love® Virgin, began in 1998 in Piero Frangi’s breeding programme at Vertemate con Minoprio, Italy. Seed from the open pollination of 33 unnamed proprietary selections was pooled and sown as breeding line 3.32. In 1999, one unique white-flowered seedling was selected; because pollination was open and the seed pooled, its exact parents remain unknown.

The selection combined an upright, well-branched habit with early, extended flowering, pure-white flowers, good tolerance of powdery mildew and observed frost resistance. That same year, Frangi began propagating it by stem cuttings at Vertemate con Minoprio, and successive generations remained true to type.

‘Milabla’ was submitted for EU plant variety protection on 28 May 2014 and for a US plant patent on 19 November 2014. Assignment of Frangi’s interest to Fondazione Minoprio was recorded on 9 December 2014, while the selection joined the With Love® series as Virgin.

US Plant Patent PP26,876, naming Piero Frangi as inventor and Fondazione Minoprio as assignee, was granted on 28 June 2016. EU plant variety right 47221 followed on 3 July 2017.

Greenleaf for Plant NerdsScience nobody asked forBotanical details for anyone curious about what lies behind the plant’s appearance

White terminal thyrses

The branched inflorescences form at the tips of current-season lateral shoots.

Flowers about five centimetres across

Each flower usually carries six white, kidney-shaped petals with strongly undulate margins and a moderately sweet scent.

Upright branching structure

Quadrangular young stems develop free lateral branching and elliptic leaves arranged oppositely or nearly so.

Frequently asked questions

Six specific answers about position, watering, soil, mature size and the summer display.

01What position suits With Love® Virgin best?

Full sun in a warm, sheltered setting produces the richest white flower display.

02How should it be watered?

Maintain even moisture during establishment and hot weather, with complete drainage between waterings.

03What soil does it need?

Fertile, organic, deep and very well-drained soil or growing mix.

04How much room does it need at maturity?

About 60cm in height and 40cm in spread, with natural variation between sites.

05When does the white display appear?

During warm summer weather, with further flushes possible while high temperatures continue.

06Do the flowers stay white?

Yes. The selection is distinguished by a clean white petal colour that changes very little as blooms mature.
