Crape merdel tree

Question

I started my crape merdel tree from a seedling .. it’s about 5 in. Tall I have brought it in doors .. it lost its leaves.. now it is starting to bud indoors. So what do I do ? I would like to plant it out doors. Not sure when to do this?

Answer 1

Go ahead and keep it indoors until spring. This will ensure that the plant has enough growth to be planted and survive the next winter. This article will help you care for the shrub once it is established: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/crepe-myrtle/crepe-myrtle-care.htm
