It's been several years but I bought a couple at Calloway's

Nurseries usually don't put out plants until they are blooming, and it might be a bit early. What "area" are you in in order for some to give you a better idea where to purchase? Just a word of warning - my dwarf crape myrtle is 8 feet tall, granted it's been in the ground for 25 years, so take care when you are selecting. You probably want the weeping variety or the miniature, or the very dwarf. New Orleans stayed at about 4 feet for me, but I have a bayou marie right now that looks like it's going to be hard keeping short.

I asked the other day and was told they don't usually get Crape Myrtles in until the end of April. I saw Razzle Dazzle all over the place last year, so they should be easy for you to find once they do start getting them in.

Neil Sperry is a gardening 'guru' in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area and knows the ins-and-outs of crape myrtles and so much more. He was instrumental in the creation of the Crape Myrtle Trails of McKinney (TX). You might find the information you are looking for at www.crapemyrtletrails.org and/or www.neilsperry.com.
