Best Online Source for Crape Myrtles
I would like to order some crape myrtles, colors I cannot get at my local nursery. Some sites have quite a few bad reviews. I would appreciate knowing if there are any companies who specialize in crape myrtles or have a large selection to choose from with good reputations.
Thank you.

From Monrovia's website: "Monrovia is a wholesale grower and sells only to independent garden centers and Lowe’s throughout the United States and Canada..."

Original Author7 years agoI was particularly looking for Near East and Twilight. Found a company with both, but they had a bunch of very negative reviews and I am afraid to order from them. So will check out Brandon's list and see what they have. Thanks so much!

7 years agoA number of people on the Texas Gardening forum have said good things about the smaller trees sold by Crape Myrtle Guy near Waxahachie. Mail order may not be practical after minimum quantity and shipping, but at something like $6 each could be good if looking for a lot of trees.

7 years agoI'm a little surprised that "The Crape Myrtle Guy" isn't listed on Garden Watchdog. I kind of like his simple approach. I had seen his website before, but never thought to add him to the list above. Based on what reviews are available online for him (Google reviews, etc), I think he's probably a safe bet. I may just have to place an order one of these days.
