Do they keep their leaves in the winter

The Variegated Jazz Hands Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinense 'Jazz Hands Variegated') is an evergreen shrub, which means it typically keeps its leaves throughout the winter in milder climates.

Winter Leaf Retention:

• Evergreen in Mild Climates: In USDA Zones 7-9, where this plant is hardy, Variegated Jazz Hands Loropetalum will retain its leaves throughout the winter, providing year-round color with its variegated foliage.

• Cold Weather Considerations: In areas at the colder end of its hardiness range (Zone 7), the plant may experience some leaf drop or discoloration during especially harsh winters, but it should generally keep most of its foliage.

• Extreme Cold: If exposed to temperatures much lower than its hardiness zone, the plant may suffer damage and lose more leaves, but it should recover in the spring when temperatures rise.

Summary:

Variegated Jazz Hands Loropetalum is evergreen and typically keeps its leaves during the winter in appropriate zones (7-9). However, in particularly cold winters, some leaf loss or discoloration may occur.
