Quick Overview:
‘Acoma’ is a cross between L. indica and L. fauriei). It is one of several mildew resistant hybrids developed by the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., all of which have been given Native American tribe names. It is a deciduous, upright, spreading, multi-stemmed shrub. Features dark green foliage turning dull red to reddish purple in fall, gray bark which exfoliates with age and terminal, crepe-papery, 6-7″ long panicles of white flowers from mid-summer to early fall. Flowers give way to round seed capsules which often persist well into winter. In the South, this cultivar can easily be grown as a woody shrub with a maximum size of 10′ tall and 11′ wide.
