Description

The cultivar Lagerstroemia × Early Bird™ ‘JD900’ (marketed as Early Bird™ White) is a compact, deciduous shrub to small tree in the genus Lagerstroemia, selected for its exceptionally early and long-lasting bloom of crisp white flowers. Discovered in May 1998 in Milton, Florida, from openly pollinated seedlings of ‘Acoma’, it was chosen for its early bloom (often as early as Mother’s Day) and ability to rebloom throughout summer into fall—continuing bloom for up to 100–120 days. Its upright, multi-stem habit matures into a broadly dense form, with fresh green foliage that may turn golden-yellow in autumn, and attractive exfoliating gray-brown bark on older stems. The cultivar is part of the Early Bird™ series of crape myrtles and is marketed for small-scale landscapes, container use or foundation plantings.

Blooms very early in the season (late May) and continues to rebloom through summer into fall (approx. 100–120 days of bloom).
Compact, semi-dwarf habit (approx. 5–8 ft tall × 3–4 ft wide) making it well-suited for smaller gardens or container use.
Attractive exfoliating bark and good cold-tolerance for a crape myrtle; foliage also offers fall interest.
