Crepe myrtles are generally not well-suited for New Hampshire's colder climate, as they thrive in warmer USDA hardiness zones (typically zones 7-9). New Hampshire is mainly in zones 3-5, which can expose crepe myrtles to harsh winter temperatures that they may not survive. However, with careful selection of more cold-hardy varieties and proper winter protection, some gardeners may have limited success in southern parts of the state.
Crepe myrtles typically do not bloom in early spring; they usually begin to flower in mid to late summer. The blooms can last until the first frost, providing a vibrant display for several months. Early spring is more about new leaf growth and preparing for the flowering season.

Crepe myrtles should typically be pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins, to promote healthy blooms. When cutting back, aim to remove about one-third of the plant's height, focusing on dead or crossing branches to maintain an open canopy. Avoid the practice known as "topping," which can harm the tree's structure and health. Regular maintenance will ensure vibrant flowers during the growing season.
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.
New Hampshire grows watermelon, not cranberries. This is a common misconception. They also grow corn and hay as well as the 120,000 gallons of maple syrup produced there.
Crape myrtles typically reproduce through seeds produced in their flower clusters. These seeds can be collected and planted to grow new crape myrtle trees. They can also be propagated through cuttings taken from the parent tree.
