Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinense), also known as Chinese Fringe Flower, is a striking evergreen with arching branches, deep burgundy to purple leaves, and unique ribbon-like blooms in shades of pink or white. Depending on the variety, it can range from compact mounds to larger shrubs reaching 6 to 10 feet tall and wide. Loropetalum thrives in full sun to part shade and brings bold contrast to hedges, foundation plantings, or mixed borders. Its colorful foliage lasts year-round, and its spring blooms often rebloom lightly throughout the growing season.
