Abstract
Abstract ‘Acoma’, ‘Hopi’, ‘Pecos’, and ‘Zuni’ are the first semi-dwarf Lagerstroemia indica L. × L. fauriei Koehne cultivars that combine mildew resistance and a range of flower colors. Crape-myrtle, the common name of Lagerstroemia, is the most widely cultivated summer-flowering large shrub or small tree in the southern United States. The 4 prior U.S. National Arboretum L. indica × L. fauriei introductions—‘Muskogee’, ‘Natchez’, ‘Tuscarora’, and ‘Tuskegee’—are small trees 7-10 m high (4–6), whereas those described herein are 4 semi-dwarf cultivars. ‘Acoma’, ‘Hopi’, ‘Pecos’, and ‘Zuni’ raise the total U.S. National Arboretum Lagerstroemia cultivar releases to 14 (2, 3).
