#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Crape Myrtle in full sun for the brightest display. They require at least six hours of sunshine a day. Well-drained soil is also a must. Elevate your planting in a mound or raised bed if you have soggy or heavy clay soil. For a plant this special, we highly recommend Nature Hills Root Booster. This symbiotic formula is used during planting for the life-long support of feeder roots.
Give your Crape Myrtle shrubs a regular schedule of water, especially when they are young. Container-grown plants must have supplemental water regularly. Apply mulch over the root zone to keep them cool. Please pull the mulch back away from directly touching the stems.
In Zone 6-9, prune off winter-damaged stems to ground level in the late winter or early spring. Read more about pruning your Crape Myrtle here in our handy #ProPlantTips Blog!
