Propagating a Crepe Myrtle is Easy!

In Falls County, hardwood cuttings can be taken in late Fall or Winter. Soft or semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in Spring or Summer. And, “babies” that grow around the base of the main tree can be dug up and replanted all year-round or Spring! This is very important: Do not allow cuttings to dry out from the moment they are made.
