How to Propagate crape myrtle?

Cut about 6" off the tip of a branch, dip it in a rooting hormone and either put it in a vase of water until roots appear or stick the stems directly in the ground. If you go with the ground approach, then I suggest planting 6 stems in one spot. Odds are that at least 1/2 of them will take and crape myrtles are prettier with 3 to 4 main trunks. Good Luck!

How to Propagate crape myrtle?
from seed pods that are left on the shrub during the winter time. this will be more effective and probably more productive then the method described above! it's just too time consuming to take that approach! good luck
