#ProPlantTips for Care:
When planting Crape Myrtle shrubs in the ground, look for a location that has full sun and well-drained soil. Water new plants regularly during the first season to get the roots established, then extend the period between watering during the second season to encourage deep root development.
Crape Myrtle responds well to mulching to hold in moisture more consistently and insulate the roots. Cover the ground to 3 to 4 inches deep to 3 feet outside the canopy.
All Crape Myrtles flowers on new wood. This is great, because it means that even heavy pruning in late winter or early spring will not affect this season's flowers. Learn how to avoid Crape-murder when pruning your Crape Myrtle. Deadhead after flowers fade to encourage new blooms and extend your flowering season, and wait until late winter or early spring to prune for size and shape.
In Zone 6, this versatile plant will behave as a perennial in the ground and regrow from the roots in the spring. Place a layer of straw around the crown of the plant in the winter to ensure it returns, even in the coldest years. In spring, simply trim off any old winter-damaged wood and prepare for new growth.
