This newly introduced Crepe Myrtle exploded onto the scene last year and had everyone talking about it. But is this really a new variety, or an older, already existing variety that has been repackaged and rebranded? I investigated the situation, and what I found will surprise you.

One of my gardening friends here has 6 in colors and we're going to propagate some this year. She and He have about 10 acres and need a dozen or two more, and I just would like 4 for my little half acre.

Anyways, It was great learning the original names and their history. Smiling

Thanks Dave! I tip my hat to you.
