  • Crapemyrtle plant named 'WHIT IX'
    Publication number: 20120260375
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of crapemyrtle, Lagerstroemia indica, particularly distinguished by having a much branched, near globular growth habit, and a near constant show of sterile, ruby red flowers from bright crimson flower buds during the growing season. Because the plant is sterile, old flowers stay showy longer, and new flower buds form in the same positions as flowers that age and fall away. Inflorescences are only between 1.5 and 6 inches long but are produced in great numbers across the outer surface of the network of branches.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 6, 2011
    Publication date: October 11, 2012
    Applicant: Lacebark, Inc.
