Product Code: Crape Myrtle
Availability: Returning Soon!
The Crape Myrtle is a Richmond, Va favorite because of it's wide application and colors. They can be trimmed to a myriad of shapes to fit the landscape and conditions.
Crape Myrtles like partial Shade to Full sun and can tolerate moist to dry conditions. They prefer a soil pH of 4.5 to 7.3. They can be used as either a border or specimen/accent plant.
Prune dead wood from the plant in the spring. Because much of the beauty of this species comes from this species’ very handsome exfoliating trunks, topping (or major pruning) the main branches is strongly discouraged because it ruins the plant’s natural beauty. If such pruning is necessary, then you have selected an inappropriate cultivar whose mature size does not match that of the site dimensions. This type of pruning has been metaphorically and colloquially called “crape murder.”
