Hello all,

I planted a 5' natchez crape myrtle purchased earlier in the Spring and it's starting to produce flowers. The flowers appear to be lavender similar to a muskogee, instead of pure white like a natchez should be (it is very different compared to my other natchez. I reached out to the company I purchased the tree from and they stated, "This is very common and normal on younger blooms. The more the flowers spread out, and the more mature the tree gets, the flowers will be completely white." Has anyone else experienced this with their natchez? Even though the tree was definitely tagged as a natchez when I received it, I'm beginning to wonder if I received a Muskogee.
