Ideal for borders, containers, or as a feature plant, it offers long season interest with minimal maintenance once established. Regular mulching and protection from harsh winds will keep this stunning shrub healthy and vibrant.

Loropetalum requires minimal pruning but benefits from a light trim after flowering to promote bushy growth and maintain its shape.
Plant in acidic to neutral, well-drained soil in a sheltered position with partial shade or full sun. Water regularly during dry periods, especially while the plant establishes, and mulch annually with organic matter to retain moisture and improve soil quality.
Protect from cold winds and avoid pruning into old wood to ensure healthy growth and abundant flowering. Protect from frost damage with a double layer of horticultural fleece during prolonged or severe frost.
