History & Origin
Care Instructions
Other Details
Description: Crape Myrtle White (Lagerstroemia indica) is a deciduous shrub or small tree known for its pure white flowers that bloom in summer. The plant's attractive, peeling bark adds winter interest. Crape Myrtle White is often used as a focal point, hedge, or border plant, adding bold color and texture to gardens. Its long blooming period and colorful flowers make it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.
History & Origin: Native to China and Southeast Asia, Crape Myrtle was introduced to the Western world in 1759 by André Michaux to Charleston, South Carolina. The plant was named after Magnus von Lagerstroem, a Swedish naturalist. In its native range, it has been cultivated for over 1,500 years in temple gardens and imperial grounds. The species gained significant popularity in the American South, earning the nickname "Lilac of the South." Major breeding programs in the 20th century, particularly at the U.S. National Arboretum, led to numerous improved cultivars with better disease resistance and varied colors. Dr. Donald Egolf's work there resulted in the release of many disease-resistant cultivars in the 1960s-1980s, revolutionizing Crape Myrtle cultivation in the United States.

Description
History & Origin
Care Instructions
Other Details
Description: Hawthorn (Crataegus species) is a deciduous tree or large shrub with showy spring flowers, attractive fall color, and persistent red berries.
History & Origin: Hawthorns have a rich history dating back thousands of years across Europe, Asia, and North America. The genus contains hundreds of species, with significant historical importance in many cultures. In European folklore, hawthorns were considered sacred trees, often associated with fairy folklore and believed to have protective properties. The "Holy Thorn" of Glastonbury, England, is perhaps the most famous hawthorn, linked to Christian legends of Joseph of Arimathea. Native American tribes used various native hawthorn species for both medicinal and food purposes, with the fruits being a traditional food source. The wood was prized for tool making due to its hardness. In traditional Chinese medicine, hawthorn (particularly C. pinnatifida) has been used for thousands of years to aid digestion and improve cardiovascular health. The name "Hawthorn" comes from the Old English "hagathorn," meaning hedge thorn, reflecting its historical use as a natural fence or boundary marker in Europe. During the European enclosure movement of the 18th and 19th centuries, hawthorn was extensively planted to create living fences, many of which still exist today. In modern horticulture, hawthorns gained prominence in the late 19th century when many ornamental varieties were developed for landscape use, selected for improved disease resistance, better flowering, and more abundant fruiting.
