I have taken a small trimming from a Rose of Sharon and a Crepe Myrtle.?

Any suggestions or tips on how to ensure their survival?

Rose of Sharons are my absolute favorite! The best way to get them to start forming roots is to use rooting hormone. I use Schultz Take Root, available from Wal-mart, K-mart, etc. I don’t use it exactly according to directions, although I suppose you could. I swirl the cut end in the powder, then gently place it a clear vase or glass with several inches of water. I repeat this every time I change the water (every couple of days). If you just keep them in the water, and change it regularly, they’ll start rooting on their own after a while, too. The hormone just makes it go faster.
In a week or so, it should start having some good roots started. When it has at least several little roots coming out of the stem, that’s when I transplant it into a good potting soil. If you’re planting it directly in the yard, remove the regular dirt, and replace with enriched potting soil. This will give it plenty of nutrition during that crucial first year. I don’t think it will make much difference if you plant it directly in the yard, or in a pot, whatever is easiest for you. You have to make sure it has plenty of sun, and doesn’t get too dry.
I think if you get it to take hold and thrive this year, it will make it. I know nothing about Crepe Myrtles, but I know Rose of Sharons. They are incredibly hardy and resilient little things! I’ve seen ones that were sorely abused bounce back and thrive. Good luck, and enjoy!
