Step-by-Step Instructions Collect or Purchase Seeds:Collect seeds from a mature crepe myrtle tree in the fall when the seed pods have dried and started to split open. The seeds should be dark and hard.You can also purchase crepe myrtle seeds from a reputable nursery or garden center. Prepare the Seeds:If you collected the seeds yourself, remove them from the seed pods and clean off any remaining plant material.Crepe myrtle seeds do not require cold stratification, but soaking them in water for 24 hours before planting can help improve germination rates. Prepare the Seed-Starting Mix:Fill a seed tray or small pots with a well-draining seed-starting mix. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite works well for this purpose.Moisten the mix with water, ensuring it is damp but not waterlogged. Plant the Seeds:Scatter the crepe myrtle seeds on the surface of the seed-starting mix. Since the seeds are small, you don’t need to bury them deeply—just lightly press them into the surface of the soil.Lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of the seed-starting mix or sand, just enough to hold them in place. Create a Humid Environment:Cover the seed tray or pots with clear plastic wrap or a humidity dome to create a greenhouse-like environment that maintains moisture and warmth.Place the tray or pots in a warm location with bright, indirect light. A sunny windowsill or under grow lights works well. Watering and Care:Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Use a spray bottle to mist the surface of the soil to avoid disturbing the seeds.Ensure good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. You can remove the plastic wrap or humidity dome periodically to let in fresh air. Germination Time:Crepe myrtle seeds typically germinate in 2 to 3 weeks but can take up to 6 weeks, depending on the temperature and growing conditions.Once the seedlings emerge, remove the plastic cover to prevent damping off (a fungal disease that affects seedlings). Transplant the Seedlings:When the seedlings have developed their first set of true leaves (the second set of leaves to appear), carefully transplant them into individual pots with well-draining potting soil.Handle the seedlings gently to avoid damaging their roots. Gradually Acclimate to Outdoor Conditions:As the seedlings grow, gradually expose them to outdoor conditions to harden them off. Start by placing them outside in a shaded, sheltered spot for a few hours each day, gradually increasing their time outdoors and exposure to sunlight. Plant in the Garden or Landscape:After hardening off for about 1-2 weeks, plant the young crepe myrtle trees in their permanent location in the garden.Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Space them appropriately, considering the mature size of the variety. Provide Proper Care:Water the young plants regularly until they are established, especially during dry spells.Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.Fertilize lightly in the spring to encourage healthy growth.
