How to grow Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ in NZ

Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ grows best in full sun where flowering is most prolific. Choose a warm sheltered position with free draining soil. Plant in spring once frost risk has passed, especially in cooler regions of NZ. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce once settled. Plenty of sunlight and good air circulation help maintain healthy foliage and encourage abundant summer flowering.

Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ care tips

Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ is low maintenance once established. Water during extended dry periods, particularly through hot summers. Light pruning in late winter can be used to remove dead or crossing branches and gently shape the canopy. Avoid heavy pruning as this variety naturally develops a flowing, weeping form. Apply a general fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and flowering.

Lagerstroemia ‘Acoma’ typically grows to around 4 to 5 metres tall with a wider spread of 5 to 6 metres. It has a moderate growth rate and reaches full size over several seasons. Space plants at least 4 to 5 metres apart to allow for its spreading habit. Its broad form makes it ideal for open spaces and lawn plantings.
