Craving a stunning, low-maintenance showstopper for your yard? The 'Acoma' Crape Myrtle is your answer! This beautiful deciduous shrub or small tree offers masses of pure white, crinkled flowers that burst forth from summer into fall, providing long-lasting color when many other plants are fading. Growing to a manageable 6 feet tall and wide, it fits perfectly in smaller gardens, as a vibrant accent, or even in large containers. Beyond its gorgeous blooms, the 'Acoma' boasts attractive peeling bark for winter interest and striking red-orange fall foliage. Plus, it's a true champion in our climate – highly resistant to powdery mildew and happily shrugs off deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for a worry-free landscape.
When planting, ensure you dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Blend Watters Premium Mulch generously with your garden's native soil in the planting hole. This enriches the soil, conserves moisture, and helps regulate root temperatures. After planting, sprinkle Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food around the base; its natural ingredients will feed your new crape myrtle for sustained, vibrant growth. Water thoroughly.
