crepemyrtle blooming?

Question

I have a red rocket crepemyrtle. Can you explain!! How to keep my crepes blooming more? Do i remove the buds that means the little circles they look like seeds ,or Do i cut them off .Please explain!!

Answer 1

The seeds appear about this time of year after the blooms. You can cut them to encourage a second bloom. They like full sun and can survive with little care. Most people trim them to one or three trunks and then cut the tops about 8-12 feet above the ground.
