| Botanical Pronunciation | lor-oh-PET-ah-lum chi-NEN-see |
|---|---|
| Lore | The red leaf Loropetalum was found in China at the same time and perhaps by the very same expedition that discovered the dawn redwood, a plant formerly thought extinct. |
| Average Size at Maturity | Compact grower to 3 to 4 ft. tall and wide. |
| Bloom Time | Spring, repeating through summer and fall. |
| Design Ideas | This smaller fringe flower makes a bold statement in foundation planting along building walls and fence lines. Add to a mixed border for outstanding burgundy foliage accent. Integrate into the back of the perennial border for contrast opportunities. Looks natural in woodland landscapes where left to grow in natural style. |
