Description

Lagerstroemia 'Acoma' - crepe myrtle

APPEARANCE : Crisp white flowers bloom during summer on this deciduous upright growing shrub, perfect for feature planting. Vigorous growing variety with smooth grey bark. Resistant to powdery mildew.
USE FOR: Ideal for feature planting, hedge planting, smaller gardens, and large containers. Group with our other crepe myrtle varieties for summer colour
PLANTING : Plant in a full sun position in the garden. Crepes thrive in clay soils.
CARE: Water regularly during the first 8-12 weeks until the plant is established, then during dry periods until the plant develops a trunk. Drought tolerant. Prune in autumn following leaf drop for prolific summer flowering and a dense growth habit; or deadhead after first flowers to keep an elegant shape and encourage a second flower flush. Fertilise using a slow release fertiliser twice yearly.

YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
