Planting Tips for Princess Holly Ann™ Crape Myrtle:
Princess Holly Ann™ Crape Myrtle should be planted in well-drained soil in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade for best results. It is best to plant in the early spring or fall to give the roots time to establish before summer or winter's extremes.
Watering:
To develop a deep, broad root system during the first growing season, regular watering is essential. After it's established, it can withstand some drought, but long dry spells are best when watered.
Mulching:
To control soil temperature, keep soil moisture in the soil, and inhibit weed growth, mulch the area surrounding the base of the Princess Holly Ann™ Crape Myrtle with a layer of two to three inches.
Pruning:
Before new growth appears, prune in late winter or early spring. Make sure to trim off any unhealthy or dead wood from the plant and shape it to allow for proper airflow and growth.
Fertilizing:
To encourage rapid growth and blooming, treat your Princess Holly Ann™ Crape Myrtle with a balanced, SR-18-5-10 slow-release fertilizer in the early spring.
