fall crape myrtle bloom

Question

I heard you could cut back spent blooms early fall and get a second bloom. I’m not talking about a cut-back only spent blooms. I’m down in so.Tex. Z-9b.

Answer 1

Yes, you can "deadhead" a crepe myrtle to get more blooms. Here is an article on deadheading for more blooms: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/flower/deadheading-enjoying-nature%E2%80%99s-second-bloom.htm
