Oh, you just got this plant, did you? I would suggest holding off on any heavy pruning of your crepe myrtle trees. Otherwise, you might end up with an unappealing appearance and fewer flowers.

I'm sorry, but I don't have that information.

I don't think there's any downside to this plant.

This plant has a few problems. It can get powdery mildew, it grows up and over other plants, it has roots that spread a lot, and its flowers are messy. But if you take care of it, it can still look nice. Happy gardening! 😊🌸
