Definitions
- Genus and species of plant claimed Lagerstroemia sp. hybrid.
- the present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lagerstroemia plant, botanically known as Lagerstroemia hybrid ⁇ L. ‘Chocolate Mocha’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,540), commonly known as crapemyrtle, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘PIILAG-VIII’. ‘PIILAG-VIII’ is grown primarily as an ornamental for landscape use.
- ‘PIILAG-VIII’ originated from open-pollinated seed of Lagerstroemia hybrid ⁇ L. ‘Chocolate Mocha’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,540) growing in Watkinsville, Ga. The cultivar ‘PIILAG-VIII’ originated in 2010 and was selected in a cultivated environment in Watkinsville, Ga. from the progeny of this open-pollination by continued evaluation for growth habit, foliage, flower, disease, and cold hardiness characteristics.
- Plants of the new cultivar ‘PIILAG-VIII’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions.
- the phenotype may vary somewhat with changes in light, temperature, soil and rainfall without, however, any variance in genotype.
- ‘PIILAG-VIII’ The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘PIILAG-VIII’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘PIILAG-VIII’ as a new and distinct cultivar: 1. Compact and tight, upright, intermediate growth habit; 2. Dark burgundy planar foliage in the summer; 3. Large rich pink flowers; 4. High resistance to powdery mildew and Cercospora leaf spot; 5. Increased cold hardiness.
- Plants of ‘PIILAG-VIII’ differ from plants of the parent, Lagerstroemia hybrid ⁇ L. ‘Chocolate Mocha’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,540), primarily in flower color, size, and abundance, color and shape of the foliage, and growth habit. Plants of Lagerstroemia hybrid ⁇ L. ‘Chocolate Mocha’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,540) have pink flowers smaller in size and number of inflorescences, cupped foliage, green-purple summer leaf color, and an upright growth habit, where as plants of ‘PIILAG-VIII’ have larger richer pink blooms and more numerous inflorescences, the foliage is flatter, and the growth habit more upright and rigid.
- ‘PIILAG-VII’ can be compared to its sister seedling ‘PIILAG-IV’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,478). ‘PIILAG-VII’ has a dark burgundy planer foliage and large rich pink flowers, whereas ‘PIILAG-IV’ has curved dark maroon-purple foliage and has red flower buds that open to white flowers.
- ‘PIILAG-VII’ can be compared to ‘PIILAG-V’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 25,925) a sister seedling. ‘PIILAG-VII’ has planer dark-burgundy foliage whereas ‘PIILAG-V’ has curved dark-burgundy maroon foliage. ‘PIILAG-VII’ has large rich pink flowers and PIILAG-V has dark pink flowers.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the overall appearance of an established plant of a four-year-old ‘PIILAG-VIII’ planted in the ground.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a close-up view of the flower of a four-year-old ‘PIILAG-VIII’ plant.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a close up view of the foliage of a four-year-old ‘PIILAG-VIII’ plant.
