Deadheading Crape Myrtle for Repeat Blooms

Will removing spent blooms on white crape myrtle produce more flowers this summer?

Yes—With Technique

  • Cut off seedheads only, not whole branches.
  • Plant blooms on new growth → removing seeds encourages rebloom.
  • Large/tall plants: extension loppers + ladder needed.
  • Some varieties bloom 3x/year with consistent deadheading.
