When to plant crepe myrtles in Missouri?

In Missouri, the best time to plant crepe myrtles is in the spring after the last frost, typically between mid-April and early June. This timing allows the plants to establish their roots before the heat of summer. Alternatively, you can also plant in early fall, around September, giving them time to acclimate before winter. Ensuring the soil is well-drained and providing adequate sunlight will help them thrive.
