Question
I am wondering if crape myrtle, either bushes or dwarf can tolerate swimming pool area's around the pool?  Where we have in mind, there would be no pool water drain on them.  Which would do better?  We would have East sun also.  Thanks

Answer
Hey, Carolyn

You shouldn't have any problems, either with being near a swimming pool or with the sun. I often use them near pools on properties that I renovate, as well as my own properties and have never had a problem.

Crepe myrtles can be messy while they are blooming, though, so keep that in mind when planting them near swimming pools and spas.

Hope that helps.
