Chinese fringe flower

Loropetalum chinense

Overview

The Chinese fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense) is an evergreen flowering shrub with an upright, dense, vase-shaped form. Its attractive and delicate foliage is bright green and highly spoon-shaped, with wavy edges. In mid-spring, this cheerful shrub produces long-lasting clusters of striking, vibrant pink flowers. The Chinese fringe flower adapts readily to many soil conditions and can tolerate full sun or partial shade, but will benefit from occasional deep watering and regular fertilization. Once established in the garden, it is very easy to care for and can be pruned to encourage it to produce new flowers and keep it looking its best.
