It’s easier than you think to force a second bloom from your crêpe myrtle. Here’s what you need to know. 🌸AFTER your crêpe myrtle blooms, it will begin to develop these little round, hard, seed pods. They are very heavy and you’ll notice your limbs begin to droop. 🌸 Once your tree is mostly finished blooming, go through and snip off these little seed pods. You’ll definitely need a good pole lopper. Similar one linked in this video. 🌸 It wouldn’t hurt afterwards to give it a good dose of @miraclegro Bloom Booster. 🌸Then, within about 2 to 4 weeks you’ll notice little blooms starting to emerge and your crêpe myrtle will be blooming into September. I have been doing this for years and years and it works every single time. Let me know in the comments below if you have tried the same and what results your tree gave you. Then be sure to save this post and follow @simplysoutherncottage so you can come back later in August and see my results. 🌸🌸🌸 #gardening101 #crepemyrtle #gardening #gardening #gardeningtips #gardenlove #gardenideas #planttips #planttipsandtricks #pruning Do you deadhead your crepe myrtle?
