How to Plant Crape Myrtles
Though specific planting directions will depend on the variety you choose, most like full to partial sun (4 to 8 hours of sun per day) and well-drained soil. And of course, the correct growing zone is important.

Where to Plant Crape Myrtle Trees
Anywhere, provided there's sunlight! And the planting process is simple. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate your tree’s root ball (with some room to grow), place your Crape and backfill the soil. Finally, water the surrounding soil to settle roots and mulch to conserve moisture.

How to Care for Crape Myrtle Trees
First, establish a solid watering schedule. Generally, we recommend watering about once or twice weekly. If you’re not sure when to water, however, simply check your surrounding soil about 2 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water your Crape Myrtles.

Fertilizing is simple, too. Fertilize in early spring, before blooming, with a general-purpose blend and follow label instructions for best results.

How Do You Prune Crape Myrtle Trees?
It's a point of contention, but the process is simple. For pruning, simply remove dead, damaged or diseased areas. You can also prune for shaping during the dormant season, after blooms have faded, but you can let your Crape Myrtles grow naturally.
