Plant uses
A highly ornamental shrub for most garden situations. Native to China, Japan and South-eastern Asia, loropetalum is naturally suited to asian themed gardens and is ideal for a feature specimen in these environments. They are equally at home in a sunny, shrub border and make a terrific feature if dotted along drives or pathways. They can add interest to rockeries as well as around pools or entertainment areas.

- General garden use or large containers.
- Long season of interest for entertainment areas.
- Oriental style landscapes.
Cultural care
Select a sunny to part shade location in a well drained soil. A light trim after flowering will help to maintain a neat and compact shape. An application of slow release fertiliser during early spring will be beneficial to overall performance. Can be grown in tubs.
