Many people enjoy the pink flowers from a Crape Myrtle tree.After crape myrtles bloom in the summer, they form lovely seed heads that last through the fall. The pods can be left for overwintering birds, or you can collect the seeds to use for growing in the spring.As with many other landscape plants, crape myrtles are often hybrids, which means that the seeds might not produce a plant exactly like its parent.
If you want the new plant to be exactly like the parent, you should propagate by cuttings rather than seeds.But if you have a non-hybrid variety, or if you don’t have a specific variety in mind, it’s easy to propagate crape myrtles from seed. Here’s what you need to know to get started. Seed head ripening on crape myrtle How to Collect Crape Myrtle SeedsWhen the blossoms fade, crape myrtles form seed heads, clusters of pods that start out as greenish berries, then darken and dry out as the weather cools. Eventually, they pop open and the seeds fall to the ground, where sometimes they sprout on their own.If the seed heads are opening, you can collect the seeds straight from the tree. Gently shake the pods over your hand or into a paper bag, and the seeds will fall right out.
If the seed pods haven’t opened yet, you can cut the entire cluster, take it home and put it in a vase of water. It will open and drop the seeds within a few days, so you may want to sit the vase on a tray to catch them.Gather the seeds and keep them dry and cool until you’re ready to plant. The seed coating is very papery, so be careful with them. Broken seeds might sprout, but intact ones will do better. Crape myrtle seed pods opening in a vase in my kitchen How to Plant the SeedsCrape myrtle seeds will germinate most any time, but they will do best in early spring when the days are lengthening.
Gently press them into the surface of a light, moist potting medium. Cover with a layer of milled sphagnum moss, and mist until damp. Cover the pot with plastic, and put in a warm, bright place (75° to 85° F).The seeds should sprout in a few weeks. Once they sprout, you can remove the plastic and keep the seedlings moist and in bright light as they grow. Wait until they have two sets of true leaves before transplanting to individual pots. Keep the pots indoors until late spring, then move them to a shady spot outdoors for a couple of weeks to acclimate before planting.
Bring them indoors if nighttime temperatures drop below 50° F.Once the plants are acclimated, and warm weather is here to stay, you can plant them in their permanent homes. The seedlings will grow rapidly during the summer.
Keep them well watered, and feed every few weeks with a balanced organic fertilizer. Further Information. (article). (article). (article).
I purchased several crape myrtle plants about three years ago. The first year after I planted them they bloomed beautifully. The next year I discovered that I ended up with an entire bed of crape myrtle seedlings. Since then they have not bloomed very well.
The seedlings are now in their second year and it seems that only a few are going to bloom. What do I need to do get them them to bloom. I’m in zone 5 and the crape myrtle die back each year and they only reach about 2-3 feet tall.Carolyn Spivey Says. We have the muskogee purple crepe myrtle tree & my mom wanted it cut back so I did & it grew 20 foot branches in less than a year. I have been air layering the heck out of that tree making one new tree after another I have one 13 inches around & another 11 inches around I do the huge ones in open pot type of air layer & water everyday & OMG I have been getting huge cuttings off that tree as well thick & a few are 16 inches tall.
I only wish I had more big crepe myrtles of another color to graft onto these new monster trees. We have red but they are small I did thread grafts of red onto purple to get more roots on one just to see if I could but not new growth yet although a thread graft on my tangerine tree is working great. I just collected white crepe myrtle tree seeds & hope they grow! I had a pot of purple sprouting last month unless that was weeds haha but it’s 100F everyday so they didn’t make it.rita Says. I have many crepe myrtle seed pods all rolling around the property from my prized 10 yr old lavendar/pink towards the top of the driveway.
My driveway is lined with those pavestone (8 in. X 12 in.) Concrete Garden Wall Blocks. They are flush against the driveway and buried with only the top showing. Since these pavestones are not square but tapered in the front and towards the back end the loose seeds fall into the cracks in between the pavestones and driveway and grow.
This must be the secret as the trapped moisture/dirt/shade between the buried pavestones create a pleasureable experience for the seeds to start growing in about a years time. I have will have about 10+ desendents from my parent lavendar/pink crepe myrtle soon, and they grow very fast and are very hearty. I just wish I knew what type of lavedar/pink crepe myrtle I have.
During the winter I transplant the youngsters once they are large enough. Much cheaper than buying crepe myrtles thats for sure.JOYCE Says. I have a crepe myrtle not pruned, and am keen to get another tree established in my yard for shade, I have some young seedlings sprouting up underneath the tree after so much rain in SA Riverland this summer it has really boosted them on. I have dug up the seedlings before and thought that maybe they were growing from the roots, but after reading your article obviously they have been growing from seeds,but I want to transplant them from the base of the tree to a pot or another location. What would the success rate be. One is quite well established at least 25cm high.This is the one I want to use.
I have dug up a smaller one, found no root system at all which made me think that they were growing from the roots, not from seed. I have dug up 2 and put them in very wet soil, but the bigger one is wilting, and the smaller one seems in better condition.
Should the more established one survive if I dug it up, and when should I transplant it. Look forward to hearing from you and reading your coments.We want to hear from you!
