Ye Olde Mission Statement
- Offer over 90+ varieties of quality, healthy crape myrtles online at a reasonable price
- Ensure fast, safe shipping to anywhere in the lower 48
Provide exemplary, ongoing customer service after the sale
- Guarantee that you will receive EXACTLY WHAT YOU ORDERED
What makes Southern Charm Crape Myrtles Different?
- We are OBSESSED with COLOR!
- What you order is exactly what you will receive. No matter if you ordered a plant years ago and the same plant today, YOU WOULD RECEIVE THE EXACT SAME VARIETY.
- WE DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Our Patrons are not stupid, so we're not going to treat you that way.
- We keep a close eye on inventory, and if we wouldn't buy it ourselves, we won't sell it to you.
So, What does Ongoing, Exemplary Customer Service Actually Mean?
- Well, exactly how it sounds.
- Ongoing: Whether you have a question regarding your order delivery date or need advice as to how to transplant a tree ten years after it was planted, just ask.
- Exemplary: We've seen and heard a lot (there's always something new to learn), when it comes to crape myrtles. It's a matter of personal pride to be able to help fellow growers with any problems you may run into. And on more than one occasion we've poured over resources in an effort to help any way we can. (with much success if we may gloat a little bit)
- Customer Service: We are available to answer any questions you may have. Although we are a small, family-owned business, EVERY SINGLE EMAIL IS ANSWERRED.
Seems Pretty Straight Forward, Right?
Well, if you've ever bought plants online before you know that isn't always the case.
Speaking from a consumer's perspective, I can tell you my own horror stories. And you more than likely have your own too. There's nothing I hate more than
- Getting the wrong plant or COLOR.
- Getting a dead plant (why is this ever an issue?)
- Getting completely ignored, or worse, treated like I'm an idiot.
It's for this very reason that Southern Charm Crape Myrtles, LLC, was created. Which brings us back to....
You Made it this Far, Kudos!
- We're a small family owned (mom, dad and the boy) business in North Central Florida.
- Dad is a Navy Veteran. The boy and I are damn proud of it. ⚓
- We have over 15yrs of experience in growing, breeding, selling and shipping crape myrtles all over the world for other online nurseries. We've seen the mistakes and have certainly learned from it!
- We love🥰 creating our own crape myrtle varieties, (it's like a box of chocolates🍫, you never know what you're going to get), and have some AMAZING ones not quite ready to be released.
- Our business is run from our home; thus, we only sell online and ship. No visitors, we're sure you understand.
- We all love the outdoors, and don't particularly care for technology (so let's start an online store, that's a great idea! 🙄)
- We have over 100+ varieties of crape myrtles but only sell 91.
- Our family loves animals! We have a couple horses, a pile of chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys, an orange cat🐈, 2 black cats🐈⬛ and 7 dogs🐺, six of which are Great Pyrenees. Lots of wild owls around here too! Perhaps that explains some of the animal pictures??
- We love growing our own vegetables and flowers. 🍅🥕🫛
- I cannot under any circumstances keep an ornamental succulent alive. Only aloe and pricky pear seem to agree with me. 🌵
- We don't have employees; we have friends and take care of each other.
