Plant your rooted cuttings in a sunny location with well-drained soil. If planting directly in the garden, wait until after the last frost date. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Once established, Crape Myrtles are relatively drought tolerant. Prune in late winter to early spring to encourage new growth and abundant blooms.
These plants can also be grown in containers for a season or two before transplanting to a permanent location. Provide full sun for best flowering and to prevent powdery mildew. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
