Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Crepe Myrtle plant named ‘Bradberry's Wine’, characterized by its upright to somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; dark green-colored leaves; large inflorescences with showy red purple-colored flowers; resistance to Powdery Mildew; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Lagerstroemia indica.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Bradberry's Wine’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Crepe Myrtle plant, botanically known as Lagerstroemia indica and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bradberry's Wine’.
The new Crepe Myrtle plant originated from an open-pollination in 1993 of Lagerstroemia indica ‘Zuni’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Lagerstroemia indica, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Crepe Myrtle plant was discovered and selected by the Inventors in 1996 as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in San Antonio, Tex.
Asexual reproduction of the new Crepe Myrtle plant by softwood cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in San Antonio, Tex. since July, 1996 has shown that the unique features of this new Crepe Myrtle plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Bradberry's Wine’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bradberry's Wine’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Crepe Myrtle:
    • 1. Upright to somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
    • 4. Large inflorescences with showy red purple-colored flowers.
    • 5. Resistance to Powdery Mildew.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Zuni’. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle differ primarily from plants of ‘Zuni’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle are faster growing than plants of ‘Zuni’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle have darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Zuni’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle have darker purple-colored flowers than plants of ‘Zuni’.
Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle can be compared to plants of the Lagerstroemia indica ‘Catawba’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in San Antonio, Tex., plants of the new Crepe Myrtle differed primarily from plants of ‘Catawba’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle were faster growing than plants of ‘Catawba’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle had darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Catawba’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Crepe Myrtle and ‘Catawba’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Catawba’ had violet purple-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Crepe Myrtle, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Crepe Myrtle plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Bradberry's Wine’ grown in a container in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Bradberry's Wine’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in San Antonio, Tex. during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 35° C. and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 22° C. Plants had been growing for three and two years when the photographs and the description, respectively, were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
