The common name crape myrtle was derived from the crinkled petals on the end of the long, narrow stem and the similarity of the leaves to a myrtle. Crape myrtle, also known as "Flower of the South," performs beautifully in all areas of Hoke County. The plant is native of China. It is somewhat rare for a flower ing plant to have several landscape characteristics which can be as in teresting as the flower. Crape myr tle possesses several: flowers, bark color and texture, form and shape, fall foliage color, and interesting seed pods which persist in the winter. Crape myrtle has many land scape uses. One. of the most suc cessful is in urban or street tree planters. Because the ultimate height is that of a small tree (below 30'), and the roots can exist in a somewhat restricted area, the Extension News crape myrtle is ideal for use under utility lines and in traffic medians. Many homeowners use the crape myrtle as a specimen tree in a garden setting, often underplan tinf with groundcovers. When located in a shrub bed around the house, as a "foundation planting" the tree should be set at least 10 feet from the walls. Several new in troductions of true dwarfs can be used in planters as a small, flower ing, deciduous shrub. Planting Site The ideal planting site would be one with well-drained soil, full sunny exposure and good air drainage. Crape myrtles do not flower well in partial shade and not at all in heavy shade. Powdery mildew is a serious disease pro blem, but this can be minimiwrf by locating in an open area whcie air movement will not be restricted. Crape myrtles grow well at a pH range of 5.0-6.5. Nutrient re quircments are generally minimum. Two light applications of a complete fertilizer in spring and summer are adequate. With heavy fertilizer applications the plants flower less, produce lush vegetative growth, and are subject to winter injury. Crape myrtles have a shallow fibrous root system and should be planted in a slightly raised manner. Nursery grown container crape myrtles should have organic matter mixed with the backfill. The best planting times are spring, summer and early fall. Some problems have been experienced when planting late in the year in piedmont and mountain areas of the state. The root system does not become established before freezing temperatures. In these areas it is best to plant before fall. Transplanting small plants can be done anytime. Early spring or summer when the plant is actively growing is acceptable. Be certain to water during the establishment period. Large specimen tree forms are best transplanted balled -and bur lapped in their dormant period.
