Crepe myrtles are stunning flowering shrubs that can be jam-packed full of bright blooms from late spring and throughout the summer. These plants, which can also be grown as small trees, can be used in a wide range of landscapes to bring color, and often scent, to a space.
To keep them looking at their absolute best, pruning crepe myrtles each year is an important task. It ensures that the shrub produces a flurry of fantastic blooms and that the flowers produced each year are not impeded by lots of older growth.
