New Crepe Myrtle Tree

I just got a crepe myrtle in a 5 gal. container. The spot I wanted to plant it is way too hard for us to dig (like hardpack clay, shale-like rocks), and I don’t think it would thrive there. We don’t have another spot. Can I plant it in a 24-inch diam. by 24-inch tall container? In ‘tree/shrub’ potting soil? It is about 5 ft. tall now.
