This sophisticated, ‘ever-bronze’ Loropetalum combines striking foliage and white flowers reminiscent of its close witch hazel brethren. The compact ‘Ruby Snow’ is perfect for smaller gardens and containers and often benefits from a second flush of flowers in late summer and early autumn.
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.
