The new series represents the pinnacle of crapemyrtle breeding. Dr. Whitcomb’s
breeding goals centered on superior mildew resistance, improved flower color,
particularly reds, and foliage with red new growth. Developed in Oklahoma, these
cultivars are especially tolerant to heat and drought. They flower on new growth once
temperatures reach a sustained day temperature of roughly 85+°F with long days.
Once flowering is triggered, many cultivars continue flowering for 100 to 120 days or
more. Propagation is prohibited without a license. Patent/trademark tag required.
