Life span ? We have some about 12 years old and loosing foliage?
Red Diamond Loropetalums typically live 15-20 years with proper care. Loss of foliage in older plants may indicate stress from poor soil, lack of nutrients, or pruning issues. Refresh soil, fertilize, and trim dead branches to rejuvenate them.

I'm wanting to buy the purple diamond. Checking to see if it will grow good in zone 6
Purple Diamond Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinense 'Purple Diamond') is not fully cold-hardy in Zone 6, as it thrives best in USDA Hardiness Zones 7–10. In Zone 6, where winter temperatures can drop below 0°F (-18°C), this shrub may struggle to survive the harsh cold.
