Lagerstroemia 'Acoma' is an elegant centerpiece of natural beauty, as steadfast as it is enchanting. With its namesake derived from the Lythraceae family, the Acoma Crape Myrtle presents a magnificent summer spectacle - clusters of crinkled, bright white blooms cascading from its gracefully weeping branches. Ascending to a moderate size of 7-15 feet high and wide at maturity, this semi-dwarf variety flaunts a distinctive vase-shaped form, aptly matched by its captivating exfoliating bark, which peels back to reveal an attractive spectrum of cream to cinnamon colors. The dark green foliage ramps up the drama come fall, when it gives way to vibrant shades of orange-red, ensuring a captivating visual allure across all seasons. Thriving under the full sun and settling well in a variety of well-drained soil types, the Acoma Crape Myrtle's charm is as resilient as it is versatile, promising to be an exceptional addition to any landscape - from borders and hedges to standing proudly as an impressive solitary specimen. Its venerable form, poetic coloration, and resistance to mildew combine to make it an appealing choice for sunny gardens, parking lots, and street medians alike.
