The most common reason would be lack of sun. Crepe Myrtles need full sun in most areas. If you want to move it, cut it back and dig up in winter. The other reason may be too richer soil which promotes leaf growth over flowers. Try using ash or a seaweed extract. Anything with a high potash/potassium content.
The myrtle is a bush and is in full sun. I saw one article that said they like acidic soil similar to azaleas, should I add soil additives. It is also getting regular water. Should I cut back?

How do you care for crepe myrtles?
Just be patient. It will start itself. Both the crepe myrtle (blooming variety) and the wax myrtle (non blooming variety) will send out sister roots and these will become new plants about 2-5 feet away from the original "mother" plant. Just wait till these sisters get over a foot high and when its not in bloom, dig it up and move it to a new location. Its best to do this in the late fall or early spring.

When do you prune crepe myrtle?
Prune Crepe Myrtle in late fall. It's a southern plant and u want to wait long enough that it won't be hot enough to regrow. I say November or December. Also Crepe Myrtles are stripped of all limbs on the lower half. It's best to do this most in fall and spring, but I usually have to trim this through summer too. Be sure to prune correctly to avoid disease
