Pollination Info
Crepe Myrtle Natchez (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei Natchez) Pollination Info
Crepe Myrtle Natchez is a hybrid variety of crepe myrtle that produces beautiful clusters of white flowers during the summer months. In order to ensure successful pollination and abundant flower production, it is important to understand the pollination requirements of this plant.
Crepe Myrtle Natchez is capable of self-pollination, but cross-pollination by insects such as bees and butterflies can increase the quantity and quality of the flowers. Planting multiple crepe myrtles in close proximity can help facilitate cross-pollination and increase fruit set.
When it comes to pollination, crepe myrtles are considered to be self-sterile, meaning they require pollen from a different plant in order to set fruit. Bees are the primary pollinators of crepe myrtles, so it is important to attract them to your garden by planting other pollinator-friendly plants and providing a water source.
Overall, ensuring a healthy population of pollinators in your garden will help promote successful pollination of your Crepe Myrtle Natchez plants and result in bountiful flower production.
