Where to plant Crepe Myrtles
Crepe myrtles have many landscape applications. Planted together, they create a large deciduous fence or screen. A single tree can create a distinctive focus, and the pair framing the front door greets visitors with a warm southern greeting.

Be sure to select the right size for your needs. Large types need space for growth without encroaching on buildings, power lines or paths. The average size, which will grow from 12 to 15 feet, is ideal for a small courtyard or garden. The choice of gnomes looks great in large containers, plantations of the basement and even included in perennial beds. In addition, remember that myrtle-like creams love the sun. The volume of flower production is significantly reduced in a light shade, and a full shade can prevent flowering in general.
