Default 20% Selected Plants at Greenwood Nursery

This a newsgroup devoted to the discussion of gardening topics, not a free
advertising forum. Please restrict your posts to questions of or responses
to gardening issues. I personally don't appreciate downloading any more junk
mail than I already receive and were I to purchase plants by mail order
(which I don't), yours would be the last place I'd patronize. It's damned
Internet telemarketing and I'm tired of it.

Crape myrtle's are easy to grow and a delight to anyone's garden.

Plant in groupings for the best affect or line a drive or fence. Also
great for cut flower arrangements.

Crape myrtle are the most colorful element of Southern gardens from
mid- to late summer when each branch and twig on the plants is tipped
with a 6- to 12-inch cluster of white, pink, red, lavender or
purple-red flowers. Individual flowers are about 1 1/2 inches across,
so crinkly they look as if they were made of crepe paper. Crape myrtle
leaves are oval and 1 to 2 inches long; they are bronze-colored when
they first unfold in the spring and become yellow, orange or red
before falling late in autumn. The smooth gray bark of old branches
and stems gradually flakes off to reveal fresh pinkish bark beneath.

Crape myrtle's grow in Zones 6-10 and do best in full sun and in moist
soil that has been well supplemented with peat moss, leaf mold or
decayed sawdust. For hedges, plant crape myrtle's about 4 or 5 feet
apart.

Apply a high nitrogen lawn-type fertilizer in early spring and again
in late spring. Crape myrtle's bloom on their new growth, so promote
it with nitrogen. Do not fertilize after late summer, so they can go
completely dormant before winter.

Ships: All are 3/4' in size when shipped except the semi-dwarf
peppermint which is 2/3'and at a very SPECIAL price.

Sold as a collection of 5 plants only!

Ships: Fall and Spring.
