Care

Center Stage^™  crepe myrtles have been evaluated and shown to have excellent powdery mildew disease resistance, they should still be planted in full sun, well drained soil.  Over watering should be avoided, to ensure the best performance.  If you wish to prune, do so in early Spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge on the stems.

Dig the hole wider than pot and as deep, up to 1m in spacing.  Carefully remove plant from pot, place in hole and backfill.  Water well and apply mulch, keeping away from the centre of the plant.
