Narrative
Tree-type crapemyrtle blooms with intense red flowers in mid summer, exhibits outstanding field tolerance to powdery mildew, and has light tan exfoliating bark. This cv. and related cv. Cheyenne are the first crapemyrtle cvs. that contain a combination of genes from three species. Lagerstroemia indica, L. fauriei, and L. limiii. Relatively fast-growing multi-stemmed crapemyrtle cv. with an upright, broad vase-shaped habit. Reaches a height of 6 meters and a width of 3 meters after 13 yrs. of growth in Washington, D.C. and is expected reach 8 meters or more at maturity. Medium red flowers appear in mid summer and persist until frost. Flowers and the glossy dark green foliage are highly tolerant of powdery mildew. Well suited for use as a specimen plant, as a street or highway tree, or in mass plantings in public parks. Adaptable to the same cultural conditions as other crapemyrtle cvs. and will thrive in full sun in a good heavy loam soil with a pH of 5.0-6.5. Plants propagated readily from softwood, semi-hardwood, hardwood, or root cuttings.
