Loropetalum ‘China Pink’
Chinese Fringe Flower
Description:
Stunning evergreen shrub prized for its rich burgundy to purple foliage and bright pink, fringe-like flowers that appear in spring and often again in autumn. The fine, strap-shaped petals give the blooms a soft, wispy texture. It forms a dense, rounded shape, providing year-round colour contrast in gardens. Ideal for ornamental borders, hedges, or feature plantings, it adds vibrancy and structure to both formal and contemporary landscapes.

Uses:
· Feature shrub or focal point
· Informal hedges or borders

Care Tips:
· Regular watering while establishing; once mature, drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering in dry periods.
· Apply an acid-loving slow-release fertiliser in spring (e.g., azalea or camellia food).
· Lightly trim after flowering to maintain compact shape and encourage new growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.
· Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.
· Generally pest-free; watch for root rot in poorly drained soils.
· Tolerant of light frosts; plant in a sheltered position if frost-prone.
