| History | This variety was introduced by Monrovia in 1994. The genus Loropetalum is native to a large range of Southeast China, the Himalayas and Japan. The first purple leaf plants were not officially known until the first grove was found in Hunan Province in 1942. This genus was formally grouped under the Hamamelis or witchhazels since they are closely related. |
| Lore | In China, these plants are known as Ju Mu. It is used in Chinese medicine the same way its relative American witch hazel is as astringent. However, it is used in Asia for many more ailments due to higher levels of flavonol glycoside in roots and flowers |
