Finally, I have blooms from my Red Rocket Crepe Myrtle I planted last fall. I have seen all the Crepes blooming since June, but mine seem to be slow to start. I decided my regular watering schedule was not cutting it and I have been watering the shrubs along with the patio plants to try and coax them into blooming, and thankfully it worked. We don't have a mandatory watering schedule here in RR., but I have been fairly conservative this year minding my watering P's & Q's. But we couldn't stand the brown grass and lack of blooming from some our shrubs and broke down and are giving some supplemental water. Some of my plants that have not bloomed yet are some Hibiscus, Cannas, and Lily of the Nile.
