Rhapsody in Pink crape myrtle

Name: Lagerstroemia indica Rhapsody in Pink 'Whit VIII'

Description: Rhapsody in Pink is a vigorous grower with dark wine new growth and soft pink flowers. It's part of the Play it Again series.

Hardiness: USDA Hardiness Zones 7-9.

Habit: Grows up to 15 feet high.

Attributes: Bred by Carl Whitcomb, it's a sterile cultivar and a repeat bloomer and reblooms on the same panicle. By the time flowers age and finally drop on the first panicle, flowers on a second panicle are in full color sho. When the flowers on a second panicle age and drop, the first panicle is again covered in flower buds or flowers. The result is a show of soft pink flowers in the landscape beginning in late June and continuing to near frost in the fall. It's drought tolerant and highly resistant to powdery mildew.
