A floral double threat that features not only clusters of rich, pink flowers but also beautiful burgundy foliage, with blooms that appear heaviest in the Spring and taper off thereafter through the season. A gorgeous choice to place in your borders, flower beds, planted around your foundation or in a large container on your porch or patio, simply keep your Loropetalum in full to partial sun and watered regularly to keep the top three inches of soil wet to allow it to reach its full potential of 4-6 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide. The Loropetalum evergreen shrub is bird friendly, is incredibly easy to take care of and is absolutely stunning in color year-round regardless of whether the blooms are present or not. From the deeply dramatic color of the foliage to its amazingly simple care, your yard is calling for the color and fragrance of the Loropetalum.

Is it safe for dogs
Yes, most varieties of Loropetalum, including the popular Purple Diamond and other species, are generally considered safe for dogs. They are not listed as toxic by the ASPCA, making them a pet-friendly choice for your garden. However, it’s always a good idea to monitor your pets, as consuming any plant in large quantities can lead to digestive discomfort. If you’re ever concerned about your pet’s health, contact your veterinarian for advice.

how hardy? what zones?
Yes, Loropetalums are considered hardy shrubs and thrive in USDA Zones 7 to 10. They are well-suited for areas with mild winters and can handle a variety of growing conditions, including full sun to partial shade. Loropetalums are known for their vibrant foliage, such as purple or red leaves, and striking pink fringe-like blooms. To ensure they thrive, plant them in well-draining soil and water regularly during dry spells. While they can tolerate some cold, protection may be needed in areas with harsher winters.
Very good packaging to ship plants. Pretty good turnaround time. Took a week to get a tracking number. Great prices
I was skeptical about buying shrubs online- even hardy ones like Loropetalums- but since these were the right size and price point I decided to give it a go.
Glad I did. Nice healthy plants, arrived quickly. I watered them, planted them. They're doing great! (We've put them into a planting in the walkway next to our church building here in western Florida.)
I was very pleased with the loropetalum I ordered. It arrived quickly and in good condition. I was able to install them for my client and we’re looking forward to watching them fill in the area. I’ll definitely order from Michael’s again
