Crepe myrtle, also called the “tree of a hundred days,” produces vivid, long-lasting blooms that bring bursts of color to the Hampton Roads area. To encourage a second flush of flowers, remove spent blooms, and your crepe myrtle may reward you with another round of blooms in about a month.
There’s plenty to do in the garden during July, from harvesting vegetables and herbs to pruning shrubs, mowing lawns, and planning your fall garden. During all your summer gardening activities, don’t forget to take breaks, stay hydrated, and enjoy the beauty of Hampton Roads’ favorite tree, the crepe myrtle.
