Description

This combination of white flowers and black foliage is one of the most difficult to develop within Laegerstroemia, but our partners at J. Berry Nursery in Texas managed to do it with this lovely new selection. Of course, a fabulous color combination wouldn't be much good without disease resistance, and it has impressed us on that front, too. It makes an outstanding container for irresistible retail appeal.
