I thought my Acoma Crape myrtle was dead but left it in the ground anyway. Yesterday I noticed it was finally flushing out. Yea!! Just thought I'd share that little piece of info.
Crepe myrtle needs some heat to activate and is a root hardy resprout to at least -10F . I know this because there are many growing on my property in Deep SW Ontario that have overwintered for the last 7+ years . When August arrives the flower display is quite lovely and it lasts for the 6 weeks that follows . Enjoy !!!
