Care Information
General Care
General Care
Watering- Water your crape myrtle as needed to keep the surrounding soil moist. During summer heat, you will need to water it more often. Sun- Plant or place your crape myrtle in a full sun area. They need full sun to thrive. Fertilize- You want to fertilize your crape myrtle very lightly. Use a slow-release fertilizer formula in early spring and summer season. Pruning- Remove damaged leaves or branches during the late winter months. Pruning can aid in bloom production.
Planting Guidelines
Planting Guidelines
When planting your crape myrtle select an area with neutral or slightly acidic well-drained soil and a sunny location. They’re sun lovers and need to receive 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and just as deep. Place your tree in the hole and make sure it is leveled with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with soil and water to settle the tree’s roots. Add mulch to help conserve moisture.
Winter Care
Winter Care
Ensure the crape myrtle roots are well-protected and mulched to help it endure cold winters. Consider pruning branches to lower level, new growth and blooms will come out as the tree emerges in the spring.
Potting & Container
Potting & Container
Crape myrtle can grow well in a pot/container. Make sure you have a container/pot large enough to allow for growth. You will have to water it more often than if planted in the ground. Make sure to keep the soil moist (not soggy). Place it in a sunny location.

I have used your service before and every time the folks were very receptive to a memory tree. I sent one to my friend who lost her son. She was overwhelmed with the thought of memorializing her son in such a beautiful way. I also got the plaque, she is going to put it on her Christmas tree. This is such a special gift. Thank you

I placed an order for A Red Crepe for my very best friend as her mom had passed. From the ordering process, communication while waiting for delivery and the delivery itself was spectacular service. The Red Crepe is absolutely beautiful and had small blooms starting already. It has been a few weeks now and it has large beautiful red flowers just bursting. The engraved stake was beautifully written. Thank you for such a lovely experience.
