ABSTRACT:
‘Cascading Pink Lady’ is a new distinct variety ofLagerstroemia indica ‘prostrata’,commonly referred to as Crepemyrtle. It is a low growing variety where the primary limbs cascade out and downward while producing multiple secondary along the primaries. It reaches a height of 16 to 20 inches at maturity with substantially no upward growth. It can reach a width of 36 to 40 inches. This cultivar blooms in mid June in Zone 7B and normally is in full bloom by the end of June. Because of its bloom habit it sometimes appears to be a multi-colored Crepemyrtle. While most new blooms are a Red Purple 72D a few blooms are very lite in color, with some appearing almost white.
