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 L. ‘PIILAG-III’ ⁇ L. indica ‘Whit IV’, commonly known as crapemyrtle, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘PIILAG-VII’.
- ‘PIILAG-VII’ is grown primarily as an ornamental for landscape use.
- ‘PIILAG-VII’ originated from controlled pollinations seed of Lagerstroemia L. ‘PIILAG-III’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,178) ⁇ L. indica ‘WHIT IV’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,342) growing in Watkinsville, Ga.
- the cultivar ‘PIILAG-VII’ originated in 2010 and was selected in a cultivated environment in Watkinsville, Ga. from the progeny of this cross-pollination by continued evaluation for growth habit, foliage, flower, and disease resistance characteristics.
- Plants of the new cultivar ‘PIILAG-VII’ 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-VII The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be unique characteristics of ‘PIILAG-VII’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘PIILAG-VII’ as a new and distinct cultivar: 1. Compact and tight, dense, intermediate growth habit; 2. Red new growth; 3. Lustrous dark green foliage in summer; 4. Red flowers where stamens are covered by petals; 5. Superior resistance to powdery mildew and Cercospora leaf spot.
- Plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ differ from plants of the female parent ‘PIILAG-III’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 23,178) primarily in the color of new growth, the summer foliage, and the flowers. Plants of ‘PIILAG-III’ have red-purple new growth, dark green foliage in the summer, and red flowers that show their stamens, whereas plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ have red new growth, lustrous dark green foliage, and the flowers cover the stamens.
- Plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ differ from plants of the parent, L. indica ‘Whit IV’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,342), primarily in habit, foliage color, flower color, and disease resistance. Plants of L. indica ‘Whit IV’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,342) have red-purple new growth, lighter green foliage color, red flowers, the stamens are visible, and poor resistance to Cercospora leaf spot, whereas plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ have overall darker green foliage with red new growth, darker red flowers, and superior resistance to Cercospora leaf spot.
- Plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ can be compared to the cultivar ‘Whit II’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,296), but differ in growth habit, foliage color, flower appearance, overall size, and disease resistance. Plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ have a compact and tight, upright, intermediate growth habit, new growth emerges red, the stamens on the flower are covered by the petals, and it has superior disease resistance to mildew and Cercospora leaf spot, whereas plants of ‘Whit II’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,296) have an overall larger, spreading growth habit, the leaves emerge crimson, the stamens are visible in the flowers, and it is highly susceptible to mildew and Cercospora leaf spot. Plants of ‘PIILAG-VII’ are more cold hardy than plants of ‘Whit II’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,296).
- FIG. 1 illustrates the overall appearance of an established three-year-old plant of ‘PIILAG-VII’ planted in the ground.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a close-up view of the flower of a three-year-old ‘PIILAG-VII’ plant.
