What to do when a dormant plant arrives:

1. Unpackage on arrival and water
2. Your plant will be ready to be planted in the landscape or in a container on arrival, or if you wish you can keep your new plant in its container until spring that is ok too
   • If planting in the landscape
     • Consider using a root stimulating fertilizer to get your plant working hard establishing its root system during the winter months
     • Use a heavy Layer of mulch to protect the unestablished roots from frost 
3. Dormant plants do require some watering: once a week should be sufficient 
4. When Spring arrives and your plant begins showing signs of new growth increase your watering schedule to 2 times every 7 to ten days until established, then water as needed. Apply a slow-release granular fertilizer to give your plant a great start

The Delta Jazz Crape Myrtle blooms brilliantly with clusters of beautiful pink flowers that contrast vividly against its unique dark burgundy cupped leaves. This small versatile tree has a semi-dwarf growth habit only reaching 6-10 ft High by 4-5 ft wide and makes a stunning garden accent and will bring color from mid-summer into fall. Once established the Delta jazz is low maintenance and care free. Plant this crape myrtle in well drained garden soil and fertilize in early spring with slow release granular fertilizer.
