Hey there, Watters friends! Ken and Lisa Lain here, Growing a backyard Crepe Myrtle is a rewarding journey that transforms your garden with vibrant blooms and lush foliage.
Start by choosing the right variety for your climate. Look for hardy options like 'Dynamite' or 'Tonto,' which thrive in both heat and cold. Plant your Crepe Myrtle in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, ensuring it gets at least six hours of sunlight daily.
Water deeply but infrequently to establish strong roots. Prune in late winter to shape and encourage growth, cutting back any dead or weak branches. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Remember, extreme temperatures can turn a Crepe Myrtle tree into a bush. Instead of investing in a tree, consider purchasing a bush variety, which is more suited to handle the temperature fluctuations and will still provide beautiful blooms.
Visit us at Watters Garden Center to explore our selection of Crepe Myrtles with stunning purple foliage and bright pink, red, or white flowers. We'll help you choose the perfect plant to enhance your backyard oasis.
