Crape myrtle trees are blooming now, do you have any in your garden?
.
If they’re not blooming how you expected, here are some reasons:
-Newly-planted crapes may not bloom fully until their second season.
-Too much shade may contribute to fewer blooms.
-Over-pruning can result in decreased flowering, as your tree’s energy will be spent on producing new branches instead of blooms (prune only in winter).
-Too much water or fertilizer can cause foliage growth at the expense of bloom production.
.
Zones 6-10. Some may only be root hardy in zone 6, meaning the roots will survive the winter temperatures, but it’s possible that the above-ground branches will die back completely to the ground. If this occurs, new spring growth will emerge from below ground. Pictured: ‘Tonto’ Zones 6-9 up to 10 feet tall and wide (semi-dwarf variety) photo by Garden World Images.
