Detailed Information
While the cultivar name “Pink Velour®” suggests a specific variety, the Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia) genus is native to **Asia**. Specifically, the regions of:
* **China**
* **Korea**
* **Japan**
* **India**
* **Southeast Asia**
Modern cultivars like “Pink Velour®” are often bred and developed in nurseries around the world (including the US and Europe) to enhance certain traits (flower color, disease resistance, size, etc.). However, their genetic ancestry traces back to these Asian regions.
So, while the specific “Pink Velour®” was likely developed elsewhere, the underlying species of Crepe Myrtle originates from Asia.
