Crape Myrtle Trivia

Did you know Crape Myrtles can be grown in all 50 states and most foreign countries? 

In the last 5 years there were over 2 dozen new Varieties of Crape Myrtle Trees, Dwarf Crepes  and Miniature Crapes introduced into the United States from Major Breeding and Hybridization Programs in Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, North Carolina, and Washington,DC.

They can be grown as 40' Trees or novelty 8" Miniatures and  crape myrtle varieties are cold hardy to -15F below zero and even colder! 

In Canada and far Northern States, the New Miniatures can be grown in pots or hanging baskets during the Spring, Summer, and Fall then, in December, moved to a sunny window or basement to overwinter.

How many plants did you plant this summer that died at the end of summer or with the 1st frost? Not Crape Myrtles, they're woody perennials that come back year after year and crape myrtles bloom from early May to late October. 

Crape Myrtles are not related to the Myrtle Plants many of you may be familiar. The "Myrtle Plant" usually refers to a Groundcover Plant.

Crape Myrtles refer to Woody, Perennial Trees, Shrubs and Miniatures that are commonly seen from Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey moving south across Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Carolinas, continuing to Florida, and all the way across the United States to Texas, California, Oklahoma and as far north as Oregon and Washington State.

The Crape Myrtle is one of the most versatile perennials you can grow. 

Many of the crape myrtle photos shown above of of flower clusters from a single branch! Do you think the crape myrtle flowers look delicate?  Do you think they look like crepe paper? Did you know this plants common name " crape myrtles " is often spelled "  "crepe myrtles" or "crapemyrtle" and even "crepemyrtle".

The spelling of " crape " as " crepe " (with an "e" instead of an "a") is because many people say the crinkly flowers resemble "crepe paper". We try to use all 
spellings in our writing.
