Chinese Fringe Flower

Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil in full sun to partial shade; loropetalum is one of the most popular landscape shrubs for the Gulf Coast and Southeast, prized for its burgundy to purple-bronze foliage that holds color year-round and its showy fringe-like flowers in spring and sporadically through the year. The purple-leaved forms ('Plum Delight', 'Burgundy', 'Purple Diamond') are especially striking contrasted against green neighbors. It tolerates summer heat and humidity better than most ornamental shrubs. Prune immediately after the main spring flowering to shape; do not shear into tight balls — this destroys the natural graceful arching habit and removes flowering wood. Apply a slow-release, acid-forming fertilizer in early spring. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 36–72 дюймів Висота: 36–120 дюймів
