Anyone else afraid they will not have any blooms this summer. My early spring stuff is fading already and I have summer bloomers that are already opening. I noticed my crepe myrtle has already opened a few buds today. At this rate I will not anything going on by the end of next month. I am not sure I like getting started with spring in February. Of course I was not complaining then. Can crepes be cut back after blooming for a repeat show? It is still only about seven feet tall.
