My Crape Myrtle isn't blooming. All the Crape Myrtles in the neighborhood are except mine. What is wrong?

Be patient! I said the same thing a few weeks back about ours and now they are beautiful.





Or try Bayer's Rose food. Bright yellow container. Sprinkle it in the soil and water it. It will feed the plant and keep it free from bugs and disease for up to six weeks.

If your plant is vigorous ... especially if it is outgrowing its flowering cousins or has exceptionally dark green leaves ... the soil may have a very high nitrogen content. If so, keep the plant well-watered and don't be fertilizer-happy. The excess nitrogen will leach out over time.
Reply:Probably not enough sun, or maybe it needs fertilizer. Something is definitely wrong
Reply:They need fertilizer along with plenty water and sun. You should never trim them back if you want plenty blooms. You cut off next years blooms.
Reply:not all of the varieties bloom at the same time. they all have different bloom times.
Reply:Test the soil with one of em' fancy testers!!! Use miracle grow soil next time!!!
