Loropetalum chinense China Pink

Common Name: China Pink Fringe Flower

Description:
Loropetalum chinense 'China Pink' is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its vibrant burgundy foliage and eye-catching pink, fringe-like flowers. Blooming in bursts from late winter through spring, its delicate, ribbon-shaped flowers provide a striking contrast against the rich, deep purple-red leaves, which retain their colour year-round. This compact, spreading shrub thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring well-drained soil and a sunny to partly shaded position. It is highly adaptable, drought-tolerant once established, and responds well to pruning, making it an excellent choice for hedging, feature planting, or container growing. 'China Pink' adds a bold splash of colour to any garden, whether used as a specimen plant or mixed with other foliage contrasts.
