Growing Tips for Lagerstroemia Indica ''Pocomoke''

Grow in full sun for the best flowering and strongest growth. Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil, as good drainage is especially important. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system, then reduce watering once established, as this crape myrtle is drought tolerant. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain its compact shape and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, avoiding heavy pruning.
