Instead of burning the plants, giving them away, or discounting them seems a much better alternative.
Great passion for his plants. 👍 😊
I love this plant
Ohhh no they're going to the burn pile. Send them to North Africa. So many of us gardeners would love to have crepe myrtles in our gardens
Such a fun video!
They are so beautiful
If the Lagerstroemia indica is capable of producing delphinidin in its flowers then it's theoretically possible to come up with a true blue Crape Myrtle. Look up the Himalayan Blue Poppy. That's true blue, not this lavender tone that's often times passed off as "blue". The Lingholm variety of the blue poppy seems very popular. These are the gold standard of true blue flowers.
So is sunset magic I have 4 reds
No true blue yet but I’m pretty sure that color with yellow/orang would be available someday…Just the matter of
time
id love to see a orange one.
Don't burn them , donate them . They are beautiful .
He does that because he doesn’t want competition. He collects seeds that he thinks are important and then burns the rest. He could donate them and all of a sudden on of those Myrtles begin to show signs of orange and then all of his years of testing within the DNA where just given away.
I love these plants, looking for a cold hardy for 6a 6b to plant in Penn. I have 1 growing there now. I dies in winter but has come up
tell me what the cold hardy varieties are:
