Roses, hydrangeas, and lavender aside, crape myrtle is another bloom that requires a touch of winterization before we neglect the outdoors and turn indoors for warmth and comfort. Don't forget about these fluffy florets for leaving them unprotected could wilt your crop altogether.
By overwintering your plants or in this case winterizing, you are essentially taking the necessary steps to extend your beautiful blooms and flourishing foliage to the following spring when the weather is conducive for natural growth again. When it comes to winterizing crape myrtle, this is especially true of gardens situated in USDA zones 6 and below.
