Please note that thicker and darker ends of the seeds are the kernels. The thin portion is called "sail". These brittle sails are used by the nature to move the seeds away from the tree. Broken sails are normal, and they do not affect the germination rate of the kernels.

How to Sow Crape Myrtle Seeds:
Scarify: soak in water 24 Hours
Germination: gently press them into the surface of a potting soil.
Cover the pot with plastic, and put in a warm, bright place (75° to 85° F).
Moderate light is beneficial in germination.
The seeds should sprout in a few weeks.
Once they sprout, you can remove the plastic and keep the seedlings moist and in bright light as they grow.
Wait until they have two sets of true leaves before transplanting to individual pots.
Keep the pots indoors until late spring, then move them to a shady spot outdoors for a couple of weeks to acclimate before planting.
Bring them indoors if nighttime temperatures drop below 50° F.Once the plants are acclimated, and warm weather is here to stay, you can plant them in their permanent homes.
The seedlings will grow rapidly during the summer.

From internet:
Crape myrtle seeds will germinate most any time, but they will do best in early spring when the days are lengthening. Gently press them into the surface of a light, moist potting medium. Cover with a layer of milled sphagnum moss, and mist until damp. Cover the pot with plastic, and put in a warm, bright place (75° to 85° F).

The seeds will be delivered from a clean home in Virginia.
