How To Plant Your Lagerstroemia indica 'Natchez' (White) - Crepe Myrtle

To give your Lagerstroemia indica 'Natchez' the best possible start, begin by selecting an optimal planting site. Choose a location that receives full sun, as this will promote the strongest growth and most abundant flowering. Ensure the soil is well-drained and fertile; although 'Natchez' is adaptable to various soil types, it thrives in nutrient-rich environments.

Before planting, dig a hole that is twice the width and slightly shallower than the root ball. Gently remove the tree from its container and tease out any circling roots. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is slightly above ground level to facilitate proper water drainage. Backfill the hole with the excavated soil, firming gently to remove air pockets.

Water the newly planted tree thoroughly to settle the soil and eliminate any remaining air pockets. Mulch around the base with a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch, such as bark or wood chips, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot. Mulching helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.

Regular watering is essential during the first growing season. Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on rainfall and temperature, to encourage a healthy root system. Once established, 'Natchez' will be more drought-tolerant but will benefit from supplemental watering during prolonged dry periods.
