Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ (Crape Myrtle) A deciduous, small tree or large shrub with a graceful, slightly weeping habit, Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ is prized for its abundant, pure white flower clusters that bloom in mid to late summer. The blooms contrast beautifully with the smooth, exfoliating bark that reveals shades of tan and gray, providing year-round interest. Glossy green foliage turns attractive shades of red and orange in fall. This cultivar is noted for improved disease resistance, particularly to powdery mildew.
