Q&A

How do I take care of a Crepe Myrtle tree?

Crepe Myrtles are easy to grow and can be purchased in a pot or started from seed. They require full sun and lots of moisture in the summer. They do well in beach areas but not in desert conditions or climates with constant rain. They can only handle a little bit of frost, so in cold climates, it's best to keep them indoors during winter. Transplanting and pruning should be done in the fall, and pruning should not exceed one third of the total height.
