My crepe myrtles are just now starting to bloom. The first year or two they didn't have a scent but the light pink one and now the red one does have a scent. The light pink one smells the strongest here. I have no idea which variety they are got them at WM during a markdown sale and all it was was Crepe Myrtle and the color. I currently have 3 of them the third is a darker pink.
