My son brought back three 4 foot tall crape myrtles last summer from a hunting trip in Georgia; one for me, one for a friend and one for himself. Now we all live in Michigan, zone 5 so I was very concerned. I planted mine in as sheltered of a place as I could and burlaped it with straw inside the burlap this winter; (which was especially cold). All three look dead except all of them have new growth coming up from the base. Of course, I want you all to assure me that they are like butterly bushes that die back each winter. please,please,please.=====
