Crepe Myrtles need lots of sun and water. Mine didn't get enough sun and I had to take it out.
How old is it? If it has bloomed before, did you prune late? Here is a link, hope it helps! Good luck, they are great trees.

I live in Missouri and mine are just now starting to bloom. I was in Florida last week and not all of theirs are in bloom yet either.

If its new, it can often take a few years to bloom
While everyone else is correct, there is also the possibility that you have either under or over fertilized. Depending on the age of your Crepe Myrtle it may need to be fertilized because it's used up all the nutrients in the ground around its roots. Check your local homestore for one that is a good general purpose fertilizer. Also, if you have buds and they just haven't opened, the plant needs water. Voila! They'll pop in a day or two.
thank you
