Description

The listing, Pink Crepe Myrtle (10+ seeds) has ended.

This auction is for 10 crepe myrtle seeds. The parent plant is a soft medium pink so the seeds should produce the same color. As with all outdoor plants, cross pollination can occur, but since the only other crepe myrtle that is nearby is also pink, this should not be a problem. They are easy to grow and well worth the time it takes to get to blooming stage.
The winner of this auction needs to contact me within 7 days with their verified shipping information according to Listia guidelines. I DO NOT SHIP TO UNVERIFIED ADDRESSES. Thanks for looking and feel free to check out all my other auctions. Happy bidding!

Questions & Comments

What zones do these grow in?

They are hardy in zones 7-10, but will grow with protection further North. When growing in large containers, just remember, they are deciduous, so they will loose their leaves in the fall. They can also be pruned to whatever size you want them to be.

How long dose it take for them to start growing

Fill individual quart-size pots with a mix of equal parts potting soil and seed starting medium. Moisten the soil mix with a spray bottle so the soil is damp to the touch, but not soggy.
Plant two seeds into the center of each pot only 1/4-inch deep in spring as the days begin to lengthen. Lightly cover over the seeds with ½- to 1-inch deep of sphagnum peat moss without packing down the moss. Mist the moss on top to moisten it thoroughly.
Move the pot to a warm, sunny window. Place a clear, plastic bag upside down over the pot to retain moisture in the air around the soil. Leave the seed to germinate over a period of two to three weeks. Spray the soil with a light mist only when it appears dry.
Remove the bag when your seedling is 2 to 3 inches tall. Water the pot regularly as often as needed to keep the soil damp over a period of four to six weeks until the plant is 1 foot tall.
