Chinese Fringe Flower

One look at the long, thin petals of the fringe-like blooms, and it's easy to see why Loropetalum is also called the Chinese fringe-flower. Native to China and Japan and introduced to the U.S. in 1880, these attractive evergreen shrubs are versatile enough for various landscape applications. They feature deep green leaves that contrast beautifully with the mass of pink flowers. The flowers bloom heavily in early spring, creating a fantastic display of color that you must see to believe. There are other cultivars available in different eye-catching foliage and flower colors too. We love to plant them together as a bright screen or hedge to block unwanted views in style or as foundation plants along the edge of a home.

Loropetalum is a fast-growing shrub that loves to grow with plenty of full sun to partial sun exposure for the best foliage color. Once established, these vibrant plants require low to moderate watering and can tolerate any pruning. They also look beautiful when they are left to grow in their natural form. With proper fertilization, Chinese Fringe plants can be beautiful large specimens that add curb appeal and beauty!
