For best results, plant your Pink Crape Myrtle in full sun (at least 6 hours daily). It thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate heat and drought once established, making it low-maintenance and reliable.

How should I care for it during dry periods?
Water deeply once a week during dry spells. Applying mulch helps retain moisture and keep root temperature stable. Avoid waterlogged soil—good drainage is essential.
Does the Pink Crape Myrtle need pruning?
