Originally Posted by Carol well, I was wondering...but I am jsut repeating what I was told--and the crepe myrtles were beautiful there--so whatever they were doing the tree liked Yep that's the very reason we prune as we do Carol ,, it's all for the visual effect or personal liking,, The median strips in the residential area have CM's that are pruned regularly to create a canopy or umbrella look,, they hard (harsh)prune them in late winter,, then maintain the shape thru out the blooming seasons it looks like rows of blooming colorful umbrella's really nice . So I know what your talking about! :wink: Pruning how much is a matter of visual preference, While pruning isn't required for the health of your tree, a complete lack of pruning over time usually results in a weak spindly tree with fewer flowers. It's best to pick a variety that will grow to your desired height, and then prune it lightly to maintain its size once it grows to how you like it, If necessary, remove limbs from inside the tree's canopy that cross or hang too low,by removing the entire branch so that it's flush with the tree's trunk. Remember that any stubs you leave while pruning will encourage new shoots. Here's a good example,, of that--> ( If necessary, remove limbs from inside the tree's canopy that cross or hang too low, ) I need to get out there and do that, not bad for harsh pruning[size:17pt] ^,, looks pretty good for Crepe 'Murder',, and this is what happened because I didn't prune these at all this year,, But I kinda sorta like it it covers up the whole brick side of the house,, tho it looks much neater and well groomed when pruned,, it's good for this year but this winter it will get pruned back hard again and all suckers removed as the Master gardener here says,, cuz they sure do and will put off a lot of suckers,, and they are hard to dig up too Okayyyyyyyyy back to single flower pic's I have a group of white petunia volunteers I wish the camera would have picked the center color up more,, it's more near a bright lime green,, as opposed to the yellow it shows,, [/size] "Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."

What an exquisite flower that is!! Thank you so much for sharing! Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

I get most of my info about mums from The University of Minnesota as they are world famous for introducing new varieties of mums; the experts, if you will. You can visit their web site, too. I would think that yours will be fine in the container but as you guess, be quick to collect seeds so they do not get lost. It is truly a lovely specimen you have there.

Although they are perennial, they are so easy and inexpensive to mass produce, many gardeners prefer to treat them as annuals and so spare themselves the work involved with over-wintering! I do believe I've read from gardeners in your state who pinch them way back for wintering. But I would even consider bringing them indoors or at least a protected spot; that is the advantage of having them in a container.
