Plant Care Tips

🌺 Planting


For the best start, plant your Red Rocket Crape Myrtle Tree in full sun and well-drained soil. This
fast-growing crape myrtle settles quickly when planted at the same height as its nursery container. Whether you’re adding
a single red rocket crape myrtle as a focal point or lining a driveway with multiple trees, proper planting
encourages strong structure and vibrant summer blooms.

💦 Watering


Young red rocket crape myrtle trees need consistent watering during their first growing season. Water
deeply once a week to help the roots establish. As the tree matures, it becomes more drought-tolerant, but occasional
watering during hot, dry periods keeps blooms full and foliage healthy. Good moisture support helps the Red Rocket Crape
Myrtle maintain bright color.

🌻 Fertilizing


Feed your red rocket crape myrtle lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
This encourages strong new growth and helps produce larger, brighter flower clusters. Avoid heavy feeding—this crape
myrtle performs best with gentle, once-a-year fertilization that supports natural blooming.

🍃 Mulching


Apply a 2–3 inch mulch layer around the base of your Red Rocket Crape Myrtle Tree to help retain
moisture and protect the root zone. Mulching reduces weed competition, keeps the soil cooler in summer, and supports
steady, healthy growth. This is especially helpful for newly planted red rocket crape myrtle trees.

✂️ Pruning


Prune your red rocket crape myrtle tree in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove
dead, crowded, or weak branches to maintain an open shape and encourage better flowering. Light yearly pruning keeps the
Red Rocket Crape Myrtle healthy, balanced, and full of vibrant summer color.
