It's time to enjoy your hard work that you did during the spring. However, it is also the time of year you notice that some plants might not be holding up in certain areas or in the summer conditions. You see those holes or soon to be holes and you will want to start planning for replacements or additions. If you are looking for that hardy plant that will bloom from summer to fall with vibrant color and an easy maintenance plant, look no further than at Center-Punch Dwarf Crapemyrtle.
