Q: You mentioned on radio a crepe myrtle that would stay short instead of growing into a tree. I’m looking for something that I can keep around four feet tall.

A: ‘Chicasaw’ , ‘Pokomoke’ and the Petite series are all dwarf crapemyrtles. I’ve collected links from Georgia and Texas describing dozens of crapemyrtle varieties, with their size and flower color, at xrl.us/crapemyrtle.
