That seems to be true, with the exception of the backyard enthusiasts who get happy accidents - crosses in their seedlings. All my crepe myrtles are pollinated in the open and there does seem to be some occasional crossing. (I have a Zuni seedling with black leaves. It must have crossed with the nearby Ebony Flame.)
