Windsurffer, I know that you are in zone 5, but I grow dwarf crepe myrtles every year. I start them from seed inside and move them to planters after the last frost. They grow to 12-18 inches high and bloom non-stop from the first of July on.

After the first season, they are transplanted in the yard (usually my friends' yard - -everyone loves the dwarf ones).

I know your winters are too cold for them - but if they were grown in containers, they could be overwintered in a garage or basement. Nat
