Where Crepe Myrtles Came From And How To Grow Twins

Question From: Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Q: Hi Nancy I would like to know where Crape Myrtles originated from, and how can you mate them to grow twins colors.

A: Crape Myrtles are found in Asia, Australia, and Central and South America. To grow twins take soft wood cutting in late spring or early summer or semi-ripe cutting now. Best to get a book on propagating. Happy Yardening, Nancy
