    Sarah's Favorite was a sister seedling of Natchez Crape Myrtle that was not introduced by the National Arboretum. Dodd's Nursery in Mobile Alabama grew the numbered seedling for several years and eventually named it after noticing it had several traits that were preferable to Natchez - most notably it develops excellent fall colors several weeks before Natchez.

    A wonderful, white flowering, crape myrtle with large and abundant clusters of crinkly white flowers in late summer early fall. Best grown as a multi-trunked, small tree, reaching 10-12' tall with pale gray bark shedding to rich, cinnamon tones and dark green, maroon-tinted leaves, the perfect backdrop for white flowers. Similar to L. 'Natchez' but more upright. Bright light and heat, well-drained soil a bit on the lean side, and occasional summer water for best performance. Frost hardy to USDA zone 7.
