Why plant Acoma Crape Myrtle?
Acoma was introduced by the U.S. National Arboretum as part of a breeding program that improved cold hardiness and disease resistance. It’s a hybrid between Lagerstroemia indica and L. fauriei, giving it the flower power of the former and the toughness of the latter. Bower & Branch grows it to a full, landscape-ready form so it arrives ready to perform.
