Crepe Myrtles require hot temperatures to bud and bloom so you are probably looking at late April, maybe even into May or later.
Mine have just started leafing out but then we have been having temperatures in the 80's for a couple of weeks already. And they don't start blooming here until Jun/July if the weather is hot enough for them.
When you bought yours it was probably getting ready to bloom because the temperature was just getting warm enough for it but then the weather started cooling down and it wasn't warm enough for the buds to bloom.
Don't forget they need full sun, all day preferrably but will handle some shade down here because it is still hot in the shade June through Sept.
And depending on how much of the freeze temps and snow you got this past winter, it might not have survived at all._________________
